The season is broken up into 22/2=<<22/2=11>>11 episode based on cost

The first 11 episodes cost 11*1000=$<<11*1000=11000>>11,000

The next set of episodes cost 1000*1.2=$<<1000*1.2=1200>>1200 more per episode

So they cost 1000+1200=$<<1000+1200=2200>>2200 each

So in total they cost 2200*11=$<<2200*11=24200>>24200

So in total the season cost 24200+11000=$<<24200+11000=35200>>35,200

John starts a TV show.  He pays $1000 per episode for the first half of the season.  The second half of the season had episodes that cost 120% more expensive.  If there are 22 episodes how much did the entire season cost?
