a. Suppose Jim spontaneously decides to treat all his friends to burgers and fries. He has already spent his excess cash from his paycheck so he decides to put it on his credit card and pay for it later.

If he makes payments of $25 per month, how long would it take him to pay for that spontaneous purchase?
