John o reka ditaii tse dikhibidu gabedi go feta tse di puti. Ditaii tse dikhibidu di bitsa 50% go feta tse di puti. O dirisitse $200 go reka ditaii tse di puti tse di jang $40 nngwe le nngwe. O dirisitse bokae mo ditaieng tsotlhe? 

John buys twice as many red ties as blue ties.  The red ties cost 50% more than blue ties.  He spent $200 on blue ties that cost $40 each. How much did he spend on ties?
O rekile 200 / 40 = <<200/40=5>>5 ditaii tse di puti.
Ka jalo o rekile 5 * 2 = <<5*2=10>>10 ditaii tse dikhibidu.
Tai e khibidu nngwe le nngwe e bitsa $40 * .5 = $<<40*.5=20>>20 go feta e puti. 
Ka jalo tai e khibidu nngwe le nngwe e ja $40 + $20 = $<<40+20=60>>60.
Ka jalo o dirisitse $60 * 10 = $<<60*10=600>>600 mo ditaieng tse dikhibidu.
Ka jalo o dirisitse $200 + $600 = $<<200+600=800>>800 mo ditaieng tsotlhe.

He bought 200 / 40 = <<200/40=5>>5 blue ties
So he bought 5 * 2 = <<5*2=10>>10 red ties
Each red tie cost $40 * .5 = $<<40*.5=20>>20 more than blue ties
So they each cost $40 + $20 = $<<40+20=60>>60
So he spent $60 * 10 = $<<60*10=600>>600 on red ties
So he spent $200 + $600 = $<<200+600=800>>800 on ties
