#37   There are 162 games in a season and I bet on 96 games.  A third of games, I bet $8 per game, on another 1/3 of the games, I bet $3 per game, and for the last 1/3 games, I bet $12 per game.   If I win 4 games from the1st third, 20 games from the 2nd third, and 28 games from the last third of games, how much money do I win in total?
