Fern buys one pair of high heels for $60 and five pairs of ballet slippers for 2/3rds of the price of the high heels. How much does she pay total?

How much does one pair of ballet slippers cost? ** First find the cost of one pair of ballet slippers: $60 * 2/3 = $<<60*2/3=40>>40
How much do the ballet slippers cost in total? ** Then find the total cost of the ballet slippers: $40/pair * 5 pairs = $<<40*5=200>>200
How much does Fern pay total? ** Then add that amount to the cost of the high heels to find the total cost: $200 + $60 = $<<200+60=260>>260
