Q: Quincy just bought a car using a 5 year loan with no interest. He put $5,000.00 down as a down payment making his monthly payment $250.00. What is the price of the car?
A: 1 year has 12 months and his loan is for 5 years so that's 12 * 5 = 60 months. His car payment is $250.00 a month for 60 months so 250 * 60 = $15,000. He also put a down payment of $5,000 on the car so the total price of the car is $5,000 + $15,000 = $20,000 car price. The answer is 20000.

Q: Sally took 342 pens to her class of 44 students. If she gave 7 pens to each student, left half of the remainder in her locker, and took the rest home, how many did she take home?
A: She gave 7 pens each to 44 students for a total of 7 * 44 = 308 pens. There are now 342 - 308 = 34 pens left. She left half of 34 pens in her locker which is 34 * (1 / 2) = 17 pens. She took 34 - 17 = 17 pens home. The answer is 17.

Q: A piece of wire 5 feet 4 inches long was divided into 4 equal parts. How long was each part in inches if 1 foot is equal to 12 inches?
A:
Five feet is equal to 5 feet x 12 inches / foot = 60 inches. So, the total length of the wire was 60 inches + 4 inches = 64 inches. Hence, each part is 64 inches / 4 parts = 16 inches / part. The answer is 16.
