Nathan is buying decorations for his wedding reception. The reception hall will have 20 tables. Each table needs a linen tablecloth ($25 to rent), 4 place settings ($10 each to rent), and a centerpiece. Each centerpiece will have 10 roses ($5 each) and 15 lilies ($4 each). How much will the decorations cost?
First find how much the roses for one centerpiece cost: $5/rose * 10 roses = $

50.
Then find how much the lilies for one centerpiece cost: $4/rose * 15 roses = $
<gadget id="calculator">4*15</gadget>
<output>60</output>
60.
Then find how much the table settings for one table cost: 4 settings * $10/setting = $
<gadget id="calculator">4*10</gadget>
<output>40</output>
40.
Then add the cost of both types of flowers, the place settings, and the tablecloth to find the total cost per table: $50 + $60 + $40 + $25 = $
<gadget id="calculator">50+60+40+25</gadget>
<output>175</output>
175.
Then multiply the cost per table by the number of tables to find the total cost: $175/table * 20 tables = $
<gadget id="calculator">175*20</gadget>
<output>3_500</output>
3500.
