Q: Harry owns 3 geckos, 2 iguanas, and 4 snakes. If he spends $10 to feed each snake, $5 to feed each iguana, and $15 to feed each gecko every month, how much does he spend every year to feed all his pets?
A: He spends $10 / snake * 4 snakes = $40 to feed his snakes every month. He spends $5 / iguana * 2 iguanas = $10 to feed his iguanas every month. He spends $15 / gecko * 3 geckos = $45 to feed his geckos every month. So overall he spends $40 + $10 + $45 = $95 to feed all his pets every month. Therefore every year pet food costs him $95 / month * 12 months = $1140. The answer is 1140.
