Jason's stove catches on fire. Buying a replacement will cost $1200 and fixing the damage to the wall behind it will cost 1/6th as much. How much does he spend in total? Give me reasons, before answering the question
First find the cost of fixing the wall: $1200 * 1 / 6 = $200. Then add the cost of the replacement stove to find the total cost: $200 + $1200 = $1400. So the final answer is 1400.
