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?

How much does the training cost? ** The training cost 250*12=$<<250*12=3000>>3000
How much does the certification cost? ** The insurance pays for 3000*.9=$<<3000*.9=2700>>2700 for certification
How much does she need to pay? ** That means she needs to pay 3000-2700=$<<3000-2700=300>>300
How much did John's adoption cost? ** So her total cost was 150+300+3000=$<<150+300+3000=3450>>3450
