Human: Tom decides to open a theater. He knows it will cost $5 per square foot of space that he needs and he needs 12 square feet for every seat in his theater. He wants a 500 seat theater. He also realizes construction will cost twice as much as the land. He has a partner who covers 40% of the cost. How much does Tom spend? Assistant: 
How many square feet does Tom need? ** He needs 500 * 12 = <<500*12=6000>>6000 square feet
How much does Tom spend? ** This means it cost $5 * 6000 = $30,000
How much does construction cost? ** That means construction comes to $30000 * 2 = $<<30000*2=60000>>60,000
How much does Tom spend? ** So the total cost is $60000 + $30000 = $<<60000+30000=90000>>90,000
How much does Tom's partner cover? ** His partner covers $90,000 * .4 = $<<90000*.4=36000>>36,000
How much does Tom have to pay? ** So he has to pay $90,000 - $36,000 = $<<90000-36000=54000>>54,000
