James hires a seamstress to fix all his shirts and pants. He has 10 shirts and 12 pairs of pants. It takes 1.5 hours to fix a shirt and twice as long for pants. The tailor charges $30 per hour. How much does it cost?
Step-by-step reasoning:
1530
It takes 10 * 1.

5 = 15 hours to fix his shirts.

It takes 1.

5 * 2 = 3 hours per pair of pants.

So it takes 3 * 12 = 36 hours for the pants.

That means in total it takes 15 + 36 = 51 hours.

So it cost 51 * 30 = $1530 to fix everything.

The answer: 1530
