Bob has to hire someone to fix his garden. A storm destroyed all 20 of his rose bushes. He decides to replant all the rose bushes. Each rose bush costs $150. He also needs to pay a gardener $30 an hour, 5 hours each day for 4 days. The final expense is 100 cubic feet of soil sold for $5 per cubic foot. How much did the entire gardening project cost? Let's answer step by step:
The roses cost 150 * 20 = $3000. The gardener works 4 * 5 = 20 hours. So the gardener charges 30 * 20 = $600. The soil added another 5 * 100 = $500. So in total the cost was 3000 + 600 + 500 = $4100. The answer: 4100.
