Reasoning and answer: 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

Reasoning and answer: First find how many minutes Jenna tans each of the first two weeks: 30 minutes / day * 2 days / week = 60 minutes / week. Then multiply that number by the number of weeks to find how many minutes Jenna tans in the first half of the month: 60 minutes / week * 2 weeks = 120 minutes. Then subtract that time from the total time Jenna can spend tanning to find how many more minutes she can tan: 200 minutes - 120 minutes = 80 minutes.
The answer: 80
