John needs to get a new seeing-eye dog. The adoption fee cost $150 for an untrained dog. It then takes 12 weeks of training which costs $250 a week. After the training, she needs certification which costs $3000 but her insurance covers 90% of that. What is her out-of-pocket cost? | The training cost 250*12=$<<250*12=3000>>3000

#### 1 | Solve the following math problem and explain your reasoning step by step. | Mary and her two friends agreed to evenly pay for the cost of 2 pounds of chicken. Mary's mother went to the grocery and bought the 2-pound chicken, 3 pounds of beef that cost $4 per pound, and a liter of oil that costs $1. If Mary's mother paid a total of $16 for the grocery, how much should Mary and her two friends p... | Three pounds of beef cost $4 x 3 = $<<4*3=12>>12.
Mary's mother paid $12 + $1 = $<<12+1=13>>13 for the beef and oil.
Hence, the 2-pound chicken cost $16 - $13 = $<<16-13=3>>3.
There are 1 (Mary) + 2 friends = <<1+2=3>>3 people who will split the $3 cost.
Therefore, each of them will pay $3/3 = $<<3/3=1>>1.
