It will take  %282500-250%29%2F75 = 2250%2F75 = 30 months.

2500 is the cost of the furniture.
250 down makes the balance due equal to 2250.
2250 / 75 = 30 months
that's the number of months it will take to completely pay off the cost of the furniture assuming there is no interest charge.
30 * 75 + 250 = 2500.
