Martha gets prize points every time she shops at her local grocery store. She gets 50 points per $10 spent, plus a 250 point bonus if she spends more than $100. Martha buys 3 pounds of beef for $11 each, 8 pounds of fruits and vegetables for $4/pound, 3 jars of spices for $6 each, and other groceries totaling $37. How many points does Martha get?
First find the total cost of the beef: $11/pound * 3 pounds = $
<gadget id="calculator">11*3</gadget>
<output>33</output>
33.
Then find the total cost of the fruits and vegetables: $4/pound * 8 pounds = $
<gadget id="calculator">4*8</gadget>
<output>32</output>
32.
Then find the total cost of the spices: $6/jar * 3 jars = $
<gadget id="calculator">6*3</gadget>
<output>18</output>
18.
Now add the cost of all the items to find Martha's total spending: $33 + $32 + $18 + $37 = $
<gadget id="calculator">33+32+18+37</gadget>
<output>120</output>
120.
Now divide 50 points by $10 to find now many points Martha gets per dollar: 50 points / $10 = 
<gadget id="calculator">50/10</gadget>
<output>5</output>
5 points/dollar.
Now multiply this exchange rate by Martha's total spending to find how many points she gets before the bonus: $120 * 5 points/dollar = 
<gadget id="calculator">120*5</gadget>
<output>600</output>
600 points.
Finally, add the 250 point bonus Martha gets for spending more than $100: 600 points + 250 points = 850 points.
