Today’s Question - On his way to pick up the papers, Tom notices a surprise sunrise sidewalk sale. At the first stop he fancies an $8 item but he's short of the $8. He borrows an amount equal to what he has in his pocket, pays $8 and leaves with his purchase and then d again at the next store. Once again buying an $8 item. At the third store he repeats the "borrow and buy" but after this $8 purchase he has no money left. How much did Tom start out with?

Reveal Answer Answer - Tom\'s "borrow and buy" strategy would mean that he started with $7 (7+7-8=6; 6+6-8=4; 4+4-8=0).
