John eats 3 meals a day.  Breakfast is 500 calories.  His lunch contains 25% more calories than that.  His dinner is twice as many calories as lunch.  He also has 3 shakes that are each 300 calories.  How many calories does he get in a day?
Lunch is 500 * .25 = <<500*.25=125>>125 more calories than breakfast
That means it is 500 + 125 = <<500+125=625>>625 calories
So dinner is 625 * 2 = <<625*2=1250>>1250 calories
The shakes are 3 * 300 = <<3*300=900>>900 calories
So in total he eats 500 + 625 + 1250 + 900 = <<500+625+1250+900=3275>>3275 calories
