My question is: Tim decides to get animals for his zoo. He buys 3 goats for $400 each. He gets twice as many llamas which cost 50% more each. How much did he spend? Your thoughts:
The goats cost 3 * 400 = $1200. He buys 3 * 2 = 6 llamas. Each llama cost 400 * 1.5 = $600. So he spends 600 * 6 = $3600 on llamas. So the total cost was 1200 + 3600 = $4800. The final answer: 4800.
