[Question]Gunther just financed a John Deere tractor through the dealership. If his monthly payment is $150.00 a month, for 5 years, with no interest, how much did he finance the tractor for?
[Answer]There are 12 months in 1 year and his loan is for 5 years so that's 12 * 5 = 60 months. His monthly payment is $150.00 and he pays this for 60 months so his loan for the tractor was 150 * 60 = $9,000.00. The answer is 9000.
Q: Erin is watching a TV mini series of Pride and Prejudice. There are 6 episodes that are each 50 minutes long. If Erin watches all of the episodes in one sitting, one after the other with no breaks, how many hours will she spend watching the series?

Question: A store decides to shut down and sell all of its inventory. They have 2000 different items which would normally retail for $50. They are offering an 80% discount and manage to sell 90% of the items. They owed $15000 to their creditors. How much money do they have left after the sale?
Answer: They sold 2000 * .9 = 1800 items. They offered a 50 * .8 = $40 discount. That means that each item sold for 50 - 40 = $10. So they made 1800 * 10 = $18,000. So they had 18,000 - 15,000 = $3,000 leftover. The answer is 3000.
[Question]Carl wants to buy a new coat that is quite expensive. He saved $25 each week for 6 weeks. On the seventh week, he had to use a third of his saving to pay some bills. On the eighth week, his dad gave him some extra money for him to buy his dream coat. If the coat cost $170, how much money did his dad give him?
[Answer]Carl saved in 6 weeks $25 / week x 6 weeks = $150. On the seventh week, he ended up having to pay in bills $150 / 3 = $50. His savings were then $150 - $50 = $100. His dad gave him $170 $100 = $70. The answer is 70.
Q: At the polar bear club, Jerry and his three friends, Elaine, George, and Kramer, took turns jumping into a swimming pool filled with freezing-cold water. Jerry was in the pool for 3 minutes before becoming too cold to remain in the cold water. Elaine stayed in the pool for twice as long as Jerry. George could only stay in the pool for one-third as long as Elaine. And Kramer, who accidentally locked himself in the bathroom, could not find the pool. What is the combined total of minutes that Jerry and his friends were in the cold water?
A: Elaine was in the pool for 2 * 3 = 6 minutes. George was in the pool for 6 / 3 = 2 minutes. Kramer never found the pool and thus swam for 0 minutes. In total, Jerry and his friend were in the cold water for 3 + 6 + 2 + 0 = 11 minutes. The answer is 11.
Question: James turned 23 the same time John turned 35. Tim is 5 years less than twice John's age. If Tim is 79 how old is James?
Answer:
James is 35 - 23 = 12 years younger than John. 5 years less than Tim's age is 79 - 5 = 74 years old. So John is 74 / 2 = 37 years old. That means James is 37 - 12 = 25 years old. The answer is 25.
