He gets his pool cleaned 30/3=<<30/3=10>>10 times a month

Each time he gets it cleaned he tips 150*.1=$<<150*.1=15>>15

So he pays 150+15=$<<150+15=165>>165

So he pays 165*10=$<<165*10=1650>>1650 a month on cleaning

The chemicals cost 200*2=$<<200*2=400>>400

So in total, he pays 1650+400=$<<1650+400=2050>>2050

John gets his pool cleaned every 3 days.  It cost $150 each time and he gives the guy a 10% tip each time he comes to clean.  Then twice a month he needs to use $200 of chemicals.  How much does his pool cost a month?
