For Mother's Day last year, Kyle picked a dozen roses from his garden, but this year, he was only able to pick half the number of roses. If Kyle wants to give his mother a bouquet with twice as many roses as last year and the grocery store sells one rose for $3, how much would Kyle have to spend?
How many roses did Kyle pick this year? ** This year, Kyle was only able to pick 12/2 = <<12/2=6>>6 roses.
How many roses does Kyle want to give his mother? ** He wants to give his mother 12 x 2 = <<12*2=24>>24 roses.
How many roses does Kyle need? ** He still needs another 24 - 6 = <<24-6=18>>18 roses.
How much would Kyle have to spend? ** He would have to spend 18 x 3 = $<<18*3=54>>54.
