John buys a lightsaber toy.  It is twice as expensive as all his other Star Wars toys combined.  If his other Star Wars toys cost $1000, how much money has he spent in all after buying the lightsaber?
How much did the lightsaber cost? ** The lightsaber cost 1000*2=$<<1000*2=2000>>2000
How much money has John spent in all after buying the lightsaber? ** So he has spent 2000+1000=$<<2000+1000=3000>>3000
#### 3000
