Question for the day


Morning everyone, Little brain teaser for y'all Winner gets a surprise from me :)

If I saw a Movie for 97K and wanted to buy it, took 50k from dad and 50k from mum making it a 100k, after buying I have 3k left. I gave them 1k each and have 1k all to myself now owing them 49k 49k, that's 98k plus the 1k I have that's 99k altogether.. What happened to the remaining 1k that will make it a 100k??

Oya where are all the mathematicians? go go go!!! hehehe :-)

    No it wont be 100k,because out of d 3k left u gave dem 1k each which means u owe dem now 49k each,addin dat will be 98k ad wen u add ur remain 1k out of d 3k left wen u buy d movie it will be 99k.there is no another remanin 1kg

  12. 1st-: take the 1k frm both mum n dad
    2nd-: add ur 1k to mak 3k
    3rd-: add to the 97k to make 100k

    * thus hw to account for ur 1k!!!

  14. There is no more change because if you had collected 49k from each parent you would have had 98k as the movie was 97k you had change of 1k

    †ЂΞ arithmetic is like this;
    Assuming ur dad has 50k
    And mum had 50k,
    And u had nofin=0
    Now u took †ЂΞ 50k frm mum, leaving her with 0
    And u also took 50k frm dad leaving him with 0
    Now u av100 instead for 0
    That means d total sum with u is 100k
    Now u returned 1k each=2k
    Leaving u with 98k
    U bought a movie for 97k
    Leaving u with 1k, so d 1k in question, is d one u said, that u have left with

    Notin hapend 2 1k, its jst dat u bought d movie fr 97k, u used ur dad's 49k n ur mums 48k so u gave dem 1k each. Bt u're suposed to give ur dad 1k n ur mum 1k(plus dat 1k u have) making it 2k, n nw u owe ur mum 48k n ur dad 49k making it 48+49+2+1=100. So do it nw n chek again.

  18. Bro d remaining 1k is d movie u buy, so give dem d movie 2 wash.

  19. it's a simple logic, ur parent borrowed u 50k each i.e 100k, u bought movie worth 97k, remaining 3k, gave them 1k each remaining 49k to balance each of them i.e 98k, 1k is still wif u right, now, minus d 1k wif u frm d 98k(coz d 1k is not ur money innitially, u were borrowed) = 97k... D 97k u used to buy d movie is d amount u r to pay ur parents now. Mission complete.
