Tim had a birthday party with a clown that cost $100 an hour for 4 hours. He also rented a bounce house for half the time that cost 3 times as much an hour. Everything else for the party cost $1000. How much did his birthday cost?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:

The clown cost 100 * 4 = $400. The bounce house cost 100 * 3 = $300 per hour. He rented it for 4 / 2 = 2 hours. So it cost 300 * 2 = $600. That means the total cost was 400 + 600 + 1000 = $2000.
Thus, the answer is 2000.
