James runs a TV show and there are 5 main characters and 4 minor characters.  He pays the minor characters $15,000 each episode.  He paid the major characters three times as much.  How much does he pay per episode?
He pays the minor characters 15000*4=$<T>multiply(15000, 4)=60000
The major characters each get 15000*3=$<T>multiply(15000, 3)=45000
So he pays the main characters 45,000*5=$<T>multiply(45000, 5)=225000
So in total he pays 225,000+60,000=$<T>add(225000, 60000)=285000
