She wants to send a dozen carnations that cost $4/dz to each of her 5 teachers, so 4*5 = $<<4*5=20>>20

She has 14 friends and she knows a dozen carnations is cheaper than buying 12 single carnations.

So 14-12 = <<14-12=2>>2 single carnations are needed

A single carnation cost $0.50 so 2*.50 = $<<2*.50=1.00>>1.00

All total she will spend 20+4+1 = $<<20+4+1=25.00>>25.00 on carnations

One of the clubs at Georgia's school was selling carnations for a fundraising event. A carnation costs $0.50.  They also had a special where you could buy one dozen carnations for $4.00.  If Georgia sent a dozen carnations to each of her 5 teachers and bought one carnation for each of her 14 friends, how much money would she spend?
