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.
[Question]Janet buys 45-pound containers of cat litter for $21 each. If her cat litter box holds 15 pounds of cat litter, and she changes out the litter weekly, how much will it cost, in dollars, for her to buy enough litter to last 210 days?
[Answer]If she changes the box weekly, then in 210 days, she will change the box 210 / 7 = 30 times. At 15 pounds of litter for every box change, she will require 30 * 15 = 450 pounds of cat litter in 210 days. If she buys 45 - pound containers, then for 450 pounds she will need to buy 450 / 45 = 10 containers of litter. At $21 per container, to buy enough cat litter for 210 days, it will cost 10 * $21 = $210. The answer is 210.
Q: The central Texas countryside contains many toads that come out at night. For every green toad, there are 25 brown toads, and one-quarter of the brown toads are spotted. If there are 50 spotted brown toads per acre, how many green toads are there per acre?
A: If there are 50 spotted brown toads per acre, and this represents one - quarter of the brown toads, then there are 50 * 4 = 200 brown toads per acre. If for every 25 brown toads there is one green toad, then there are 200 / 25 = 8 green toads per acre. The answer is 8.

[Question]A passenger train transports passengers between two stations located in two separate cities. On a particular day, the train carried 100 passengers from one station to the other one way, and on the return trip carried 60 passengers. If the train made three more round trips that day, taking the same number of people as the first trip in each trip, calculate the total number of passengers transported between both stations?
[Answer]
The total number of people transported in the first trip is 100 one way + 60 on the return trip = 160 people. If the train made three more round trips that day carrying the same number of passengers in each trip as the first, it carried a total of 3 * 160 = 480 in all three round trips. In total, the train carried 160 + 480 = 640 people over all its trips that day. The answer is 640.
