Math Problem Statement

Claude Pineau, a factory worker in Hull, Quebec, asks you to help him find out how much he is worth. From a discussion with him you find out the following facts:

• His bank account balance is $754. • He owns a house valued at $82,500 which has a mortgage on it of $12,500. • He owns furniture and household equipment valued at $16,000. • He owns a summer property valued at $65,000 which he bought entirely with money borrowed from the bank. Since the time of purchase he has paid back $20,000 of the loan. • He has unpaid bills amounting to $1,560. • He owes his father-in-law, M. Dupuis, the sum of $10,000 which he borrowed interest-free several years ago at the time he bought his home. Given this information, use a calculator if necessary, to determine how much his total liabilities are worth.

Just input the number without a $ sign, space or any commas.
