A TV show costs $100,000 per episode for the first season and twice that much for every other season. The first season had 12 episodes, and every season after that had 50% more episodes except the last season, which had 24 episodes. The show had 5 seasons. How much did it cost to produce all the episodes?
Let's be accurate as possible. Think before you answer.
16800000
The first season cost 12 * 100,000 = $1,200,000.

Season 2 - 4 had 12 *.

5 = 6 more episodes per season than the first.

So they each had 12 + 6 = 18 episodes.

That means there were 18 * 3 + 24 = 78 episodes in the last 4 seasons.

So those episodes cost 2 * 100,000 = $200,000.

For a total cost of 200,000 * 78 = $15,600,000.

So the total cost was 15,600,000 + 1,200,000 = $16,800,000.

Therefore, the answer is 16800000
