Rita bought 5 short dresses, 3 pairs of pants and 4 jackets from a store that sells second-hand clothes. The dresses cost $20 each, the pants cost $12, the jackets cost $30 each, and she spent an additional $5 on transportation. If she had $400 initially, how much does she have now? Let's answer step by step:
She bought 5 dresses at $20 each for a total of 5 * $20 = $100. She bought 3 pairs of pants at $12 each for a total of 3 * $12 = $36. She bought 4 jackets at $30 each for a total of 4 * $30 = $120. She spent an additional $5 on transportation for a sum total of $5 + $100 + $36 + $120 = $261. She initially had $400 so she now has $400 - $261 = $139. The answer: 139.
