Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request in English. Please answer in English.

### Instruction:
John has to hire a lawyer.  He pays $1000 upfront.  He then gets charged $100 per hour.  The lawyer has to work 50 hours in court time.  It takes 2 times that long in prep time.  His brother pays half the fee.  How much did John pay?

### Response:
The lawyer worked 50*2=<<50*2=100>>100 hours out of court
So he worked 100+50=<<100+50=150>>150 hours total
That means the hourly time cost 150*100=$<<150*100=15000>>15000
The upfront cost was 1000+15000=$<<1000+15000=16000>>16000
His brother paid half so he paid 16000/2=$<<16000/2=8000>>8000
#### 8000
