Reasoning and answer: Today, 5 bottles of $20.00 wine will cost 5 * 20 = $100.00. In 2 months there will be a 25% tariff on the 5 bottles of wine that cost $100.00 so that makes the 5 bottles .25 * 100 = $25.00 more expensive.
The answer: 25

The two sets of plates amount to $20 x 2 = $40. So the table and the two sets of plates amount to $50 + $40 = $90 in all. Since Jude received a $4 change, then he paid a total of $130 - $4 = $126 for the chairs, tables, and plates. Thus, the three chairs cost $126 - $90 = $36. Therefore, each chair cost $36 / 3 = $12.
The answer: 12
Reverse engineering the question: Jude bought three chairs for his house, all at the same price. He also bought a table that costs $50 and two sets of plates at $20 for each set. After giving the cashier $130, Jude got a $4 change. How much did each of the chairs cost?
There are 4 tables, 1 sofa and 2 chairs that have 4 legs each so 4 + 1 + 2 = 7 pieces of furniture. These 7 pieces have 4 legs each so they have 7 * 4 = 28 legs. There are 3 tables with 3 legs each so they have 3 * 3 = 9 legs. We have 28 legs and 9 legs as well a 1 leg on a table and 2 on a rocking chair for a total of 28 + 9 + 1 + 2 = 40 legs.
The answer: 40
