How much was Sid's original money? ** Half of Sid's original money is $48/2 = $<<48/2=24>>24.
How much money does Sid have left? ** Sid has only $24 + $4 = $<<24+4=28>>28 left after his purchases.
How much money did Sid have before he spent $8 on snacks? ** He had $28 + $8 = $<<28+8=36>>36 before he spent $8 on snacks.
How much did Sid spend on computer accessories? ** So, Sid spent $48 - $36 = $<<48-36=12>>12 on computer accessories.
