James opens up a flower shop. He needs to pay rent of $[AMOUNT] a week with an additional [PERCENTAGE]% of rent to pay for utilities and he has [NUMBER] employees per shift with the store open [NUMBER] hours a day for [NUMBER] days a week. If he pays each employee $[RATE] an hour, what are his weekly expenses to run the store?
He is open 16*5=<<16*5=80>>80 hours a week
So he pays each of his employees 12.5*80=$<<12.5*80=1000>>1000 per week
Since there are two employees, he pays them in total 2 * $1000 = $<<2*1000=2000>>2000 per week.
The utilities cost 1200*.2=$<<1200*.2=240>>240
So his total cost per week is 1200+2000+240=$<<1200+2000+240=3440>>3440
