Jenny decided to get a cat with her girlfriend.  They agreed to split all the costs down the middle except for they would each buy their own toys for the cat.  The adoption fee was $50, the vet visits cost $500 for the first year and the monthly cost of food was $25.  She bought $200 in toys.  How much did Jenny spend on the cat in the first year?
The total cost for food was 25*12=$<<25*12=300>>300
So their shared expenses were 300+50+500=$<<300+50+500=850>>850
So Jenny spent 850/2=$<<850/2=425>>425 on shared expenses
So the total cost she paid was 425+200=$<<425+200=625>>625
#### 625
