Use reasoning to lead to the answer of the following question:
John's new computer cost $1500. He needs to get a monitor and other peripherals that cost 1/5 that much. He also wants to upgrade the $300 video card in the base computer with one that costs twice as much. How much did he spend?

2100
The peripherals cost 1500 / 5 = $300.

The video card cost 300 * 2 = $600.

So it cost 600 - 300 = $300 more.

That means the total cost was 1500 + 300 + 300 = $2100.

.

Final answer: 2100
