I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article.
Article: It had been a long time since I had been to Jacksonville, Florida. I had driven to town hoping to see the old barber shop where my hair had been cut as a child.      
I parked my truck and decided to try and locate a telephone to see if the Florida Barber College had moved to a new location.    
After walking about a block I saw an open shoe store. I walked inside and asked if I could use their telephone book. Unable to find a listing for the Barber College, I picked out the number of a local beauty salon, hoping they might tell me if the barber college was still in business. The number was busy, so I decided to wait and try again in a few minutes.
As the salesman and I stood talking the front door opened and a young man about twenty came into the store pushing himself in a wheelchair. "I need a new pair of shoes," said the customer. As he turned the corner, there was a blanket across his lap. I was shocked to see that the young man had no legs.
"A gift for a friend?" I asked the boy. "No," he replied. They are for me," he continued, with a smile on his face. I just smiled back and watched to see what would happen next.
"What type of shoe would you like?" asked the clerk. "How about a pair of cowboy boots?" The man pointed to the back wall where three or four pairs of boots were displayed. The salesman, sharply turning, headed off to the backroom. 
"Isn't this fun?" the boy asked me. I moved my hand to let him know that I did not understand his question. "When I was a kid, my parents used to buy me a new pair of shoes every year. That was such a wonderful feeling. Something I have never forgotten. The smell of the leather and the pride I felt when I walked around the store showing off my new shoes."
The salesman came walking down the aisle with a large box. He sat it down on the floor, took out one boot and handed it to the young man. The boy closed his eyes. He placed the boot against his nose, and drew in a large breath. I did not know what to say as tears began to fall on the young man's cheeks. "What type...
Question: The author writes about the barber shop at the beginning of the article in order to   _  .
Options: A: introduce the background of the story
B: see if the Barber College had moved to a new location
C: find a listing for the Barber College
D: pick out a local beauty salon
The author mentions the barber shop at the beginning of the article to help introduce and set up the story about a young man who visits a shoe store. The background information is not relevant to any other part of the story, so options B–D can be eliminated. Choice A correctly identifies that this section was included in order to provide some context for what happens next in the story.
Therefore, option A is correct: "introduce the background of the story".
Five people are planning a party. Sonja will buy a loaf of French bread ($3 a loaf) and a platter of cold cuts ($23). Barbara will buy the soda ($1 per person) and two boxes of crackers ($2 per box). Mario and Rick will split the cost of two packages of Cheese Doodles ($3 per package). Danica will supply a package of paper plates for $4. How much more will Sonja spend than the rest of the office put together?
Sonja will spend $3 + $23 = $<<3+23=26>>26.
Barbara will spend 5 + ( 2 * 2) = $<<5+2*2=9>>9.
Mario and Rick will spend 2 * 3 = $<<2*3=6>>6.
Everyone but Sonijs spend $9 + $6 + $4 = $<<9+6+4=19>>19.
Sonija spent $26 - $19 = $<<26-19=7>>7 more than the rest of the people at the party.

You are an expert at transforming general questions into domain-specific, math-related questions. Your task is to generate only the transformed math question without including any answers or solutions.

### Step-by-Step Instructions
#### Step 1: Analyze and Understand the General Question
   - Objective: Fully understand the general question to grasp its context, key concepts, and quantitative elements.
   - Guidelines:
     - Identify the core topic (e.g., measurement, comparison, probability) and **specific details** that can inspire mathematical transformations.
     - Consider how the question’s **structure and format** might be adapted to a mathematical context. For example, if the question compares quantities or discusses measurements, consider framing these as math problems involving calculations, rates, or proportions.

#### Step 2: Refer to the Domain-Specific Question (for Inspiration Only)
   - Objective: Use the domain-specific question to understand how similar questions are formulated in a mathematical way.
   - Guidelines:
     - Extract Core Concepts: Identify the main mathematical ideas in the domain-specific question and consider how these concepts can apply to the general question.
     - Focus on Transformation, Not Duplication: Use the structure of the domain-specific question as a guide but create a unique question aligned with the general question’s theme.
     - Frame questions to encourage mathematical reasoning, such as using multi-step calculations, logical problem-solving, or real-world applications.

#### Step 3: Generate the Transformed Math Question
   - Objective: Create an original math question that retains the context and theme of the general question pair.
   - Guidelines:
     - Preserve Original Context: Integrate elements from the general question (e.g., scenario, characters, or objects) into the math question to make it cohesive and relevant.
     - Introduce a Mathematical Challenge: Frame the question to require mathematical thinking, such as:
       - Calculations (e.g., “Calculate the time needed if…”)
       - Comparative reasoning (e.g., “Determine which option has a higher value if…”)
       - Probability or logic-based reasoning (e.g., “What are the chances of selecting a specific item if…”)
     - Avoid Including Solutions: Ensure the output contains only the transformed math question without any answers or calculations.

### Response Rule
- Generate **only the "Transformed Domain Question"** for **Example 4** without including any answer, explanation, or solution.

### Output Format
- **Transformed Domain Question**: [Write your transformed question here.]

### Example 1:
- **General Question**: Given the sentence "A man with a beard playing an instrument," is it true that "The person has a beard"?
- **Domain Question**: What is the total cost of purchasing equipment for all sixteen players on the football team, considering that each player requires a $25 jersey, a $15.20 pair of shorts, and a pair of socks priced at $6.80?
- **Transformed Domain Question**: In a concert audience of 1,000 people, where 45% of attendees are male and 30% of the males have beards, what is the probability of randomly selecting a bearded man from the crowd?

### Example 2:
- **General Question**: Acids have pH values below 7. The lower the pH value, the more strongly acidic the substance. Having read the above passage, choose the right answer to the following question (choices are higher or lower): You can find tables that show the pH value of different fruits and vegetables. The fruits such as apples are barely acidic so they have a pH value that is higher or lower?
- **Domain Question**: If Williams has a certain amount of money, Jackson has 5 times that amount. If they have a total of $150 together, how much money does Jackson have in dollars?
- **Transformed Domain Question**: In a study of soil pH levels across various agricultural zones, it's noted that some zones are more acidic due to the types of crops grown there. If Zone A has an average soil pH of 5.7 and is noted for its apple orchards, which are known for requiring slightly acidic soil, calculate the comparative pH difference percentage between Zone A and Zone B, where Zone B has a soil pH of 6.8, suitable for less acidic crop requirements.

### Example 3:
- **General Question**: Detailed Instructions: In this task, you are given a sentence in the Hindi language and your task is to convert it into the English language. In translation, keep numbers as it is and make it sentence case (capitalize only the first word of each sentence and noun).
- **Domain Question**: Mary and Ann are going sledding. Mary slides down a hill that's 630 feet long at a speed of 90 feet/minute. Ann slides down a hill that's 800 feet long at a rate of x feet/minute. How much longer does Ann's trip take than Mary? If we know the answer to the above question is 13, what is the value of unknown variable x?
- **Transformed Domain Question**: Given the geopolitical tension in the region described, if the fall of the Ottoman and Russian empires led to the redistribution of their controlled territories among other nations, assume these territories were divided into 10 new countries with varying sizes. The largest new country occupies 30% of the total territory once held by these empires. If the total land previously controlled by the Ottoman and Russian empires was 2,000,000 square kilometers, calculate the area of the largest new country in square kilometers.
