Q: Jason is trying to figure out whether he can afford a new car. The car he wants costs $32,000, and he can make a down payment of $8,000. He'll have to get a loan for the rest of the amount and make 48 equal monthly payments on it. Each month, he also has to pay interest equal to 5% of that month's payment. How much will Jason's monthly payments be?
A: First figure out how much the loan will be: $32,000 - $8,000 = $24,000. Then divide the loan amount by the number of payments to find the monthly payment before interest: $24,000 / 48 months = $500 / month. Then multiply the loan amount by 5% to find out how much the interest is: $500 / month * .05 = $25 / month. Then add the interest to the payment amount to find the total monthly payment: $500 / month + $25 / month = $525 / month. The answer is 525.
Question: Madeline wants to drink 100 ounces of water in a day. Her water bottle can hold 12 ounces of water. She refills her water bottle 7 times. How much more water does she need to drink?
Answer: She has already had 12 * 7 = 84 ounces of water. She needs to drink 100 - 84 = 16 more ounces to make it to 100 ounces. The answer is 16.
[Question]Jessica is six years older than Claire. In two years, Claire will be 20 years old. How old is Jessica now?

Q: Mark bought a shirt, pants, and shoes for $340. What is the price of the pants knowing that the price of a shirt is three-quarters of the price of the pants and that the price of a shoe is ten dollars more than the price of the pants?
A: Let X be the price of the pants. The price of the shirt is 3 / 4 * X. The price of the shoes is X + 10. The total amount paid is X + 3 / 4 * X + X + 10 = $340. Combining like terms we get X * 11 / 4 + 10 = $340. Subtracting 10 from both sides we get X * 11 / 4 = $330. Dividing both sides by 11 / 4 we get X = $120. The answer is 120.
Question: A leaf is being blown down a sidewalk by swirling gusts of wind. For every five feet that a gust blows it forward, the wind swirls and blows it back two feet. How many feet has it traveled down the sidewalk after 11 gusts of wind?
Answer: Each gust blows the leaf forward 5 feet, so 11 gusts will blow it forward 5 * 11 = 55 feet. Each swirl after a gust blows it back 2 feet, so 11 swirls will blow it back 2 * 11 = 22 feet. After 11 gusts, the leaf has traveled 55 - 22 = 33 feet down the sidewalk. The answer is 33.

If Legacy has 5 bars, Aleena has 5 bars - 2 bars = 3 bars. In total, they have 5 bars + 3 bars = 8 bars,. Since one bar of gold is worth $2200, the 8 bars they have together are worth 8 bars * $2200 / bar = $17600. The answer is 17600.
