conversations.value: Cadence has worked for her new company five months longer than she worked for her old company. If she worked at her old company for 3 years earning $5000 per month, and she's now earning 20% more in the new company, calculate the total amount of money she's earned in both companies in the period she's worked for them?
  Give me a detailed solution.

conversations.value: In her old company, if she worked for three years, the total number of months she was paid for is 3 years*12, which is the number of months in a year = 36 months.
  If each month she was paid $5000, her total earnings in the old company were $5000* 36 =$180000
  In her new company, she is paid 20% more, which is 20/100*$5000 = $1000 per month more than what she was paid at the old company.
  In total, she earns $5000+$1000 = $6000 per month in her new company.
  Since she's worked five months more in the new company than the old company, she has worked for 36+5 = 41 months in the new company.
  The total amount she's earned in the new company is $6000*41 = $246000
  The combined total for both companies is $246000+$180000 = $426000
