I had a really funny experience trying that problem. As I began reading it, I developed a strong desire to glean over it and 'just get done with it' and felt a distracting buzz in my mind. I enjoy studying maths and doing proofs myself but I got this basic questions wrong. I just went'ugh, started with 60 spent, ended up selling for 90' and I went wrong with it. The point is, I felt a strong aversion to word problems and such, which I think remind me of riddles which always trump me. Therein lies the desire to 'just be done with it' and the underlying aversion to maths I think other people also have.
