conversations.value: I need help with this problem:
  John joins a country club with 3 other members of his family.  The fee to join is $4000 per person.  There is also a monthly cost of $1000 per person.  John pays half the cost.  How much does John pay for the first year?
conversations.from: assistant
conversations.value: There are 3+1=4 members joining
  So the cost is 4*4000=$16,000 to join
  The monthly fee comes out to 1000*12=$12,000 per person per year
  So that is 12000*4=$48,000
  So the total cost is 16,000+48,000=$64,000
  So John pays 64000/2=$32,000
