Lizzy: Jake has 3 snakes. Each of them lays 2 eggs. Most of the baby snakes sell for $250 but one super rare one costs 4 times as much. How much did he get from selling the snakes?.
Me: Hmmm, let me think. I think this is the detailed solution:
He has 3 * 2 = 6 baby snakes. So 6 - 1 = 5 sell for $250 each. So those snakes sell for 5 * $250 = $1250. The other snake sells for $250 * 4 = $1000. So in total, the snakes sold for $1250 + $1000 = $2250. Final answer: 2250.
