chrisbenoit SG Morale of the story: Dont borrow $100. 97/2= 48.50 48.50 is the amount you must pay to each of them, not 48. 3/2= 1.50 48.50 + 1.50 = 50
mancha SG Right! A and B actually gave you $49 + $49 = $98 You buy shoe for $97 And kept the $1 Now you owe A and B $98. Which is the $97 shoe + $1.
fallen_souL SG this is the best explaination liao. TS, why don't u apply it to real life and see if its like the situation u posted?
icyboiz SG no missing one at all la.. the cost price is wrg.. my lecture gave us this question b4.its sort of a trick
ArdusKane SG This isn't a maths question at all. There are so many variations to this. The problem is with the way the question is phrased.
Ligh7n1ngG0d SG Its just a trick question... amount u borrowed shd be equal to amount returned ($2) + amount not returned ($97+1) which is $100 and NOT how much u owe+$1 u have with you.
sunny6110 SG Bingo~~ Digest this and Apply in real life... Understanding only is not gd enough... U must know how t0 apply... Making the Wrong seems Right.... n the Right seems Wrong... this is life isn't it??
