The U.S. paid 50 million francs (equal to $11,250,000 at the time) plus cancellation of debts worth 18 million francs (equal to $3,750,000 at the time). The total exchange was worth 15 million dollars, even though that isn't the amount that was exchanged. That seems like a lot, but since it was for 530,000,000 acres of land, it was actually amazingly cheap... about 4 cents an acre.
The Louisiana Territory cost 15 million dollars and was sold in 1803 by France to the United States of America.

Napoleon Bonaparte, as Emperor of France, was at war with England. Louisiana wasn't doing him any good (since the British Royal Navy would cut off any trade with France) and he needed the money to finance the war. The United States bought the Louisiana Territory in 1803, doubling the size of the United States. The money didn't do him much good, as the French Navy was slaughtered by the Royal Navy at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805.
