Try this problem:

A young man works at a train shop. Every inch of track is $1.50 and a train set costs $20. One day two men come in and buy 13 inches of track, a lady comes in and buys a set, a group of boys come in and buy two sets and at the end of the day two masked men come in the store and rob the young man of 59% of the money he had earned that day. How much money did he earn for the store?
