1. A recycling factory makes its own paper cups for canteen use. It can make one cup from nine used ones. If it has 961 used cups. How many new ones can it possibly make?

961: 106, with 5 left overs.....

106 + 5 = 111: 12, with 3 left over

12+ 3 = 15: 1 with 6 left over.

106+12+1=119.

2. In a supermarket, the first 25 customers of the day purchased an average of two items each. After a further 15 customers, the average number of items purchased by each customer rose to eight.

What was the average number of items purchased by the last 15 customers only?

25x2=50

40x8=320

320-50=270

270/15=18 items by the last 15 peeps.

a- breakage

b- ocallion

c- ?

[lspencer534]

a- breakage

b- ocallion

c- ?

a- is correct. But I can't give you a point unless you get all 3. Do you want 1/3 of a point? :D

[ZipZap]

Matrix = 115

[ZipZap]

Breakage
Colonial
Overleaf

[lspencer534]

Matrix = 115

Correct! 1 point.

[lspencer534]

Breakage
Colonial
Overleaf

Correct! 2 points. You and DAB are tied.

[kingpin]

Finally got it.

ZipZap beat you to it. Sorry.

can you explain?

[lspencer534]

can you explain?

Each shirt is worth 40, each ball is worth 25 and each scarf is worth 10.

[DAB]

Each shirt is worth 40, each ball is worth 25 and each scarf is worth 10.

and how did you deduce that?

[lspencer534]

DAB, you and ZipZap are tied at 2 each. The recycled cups puzzle is the only one remaining. You were very close with your answer.

only answer i have for that.

961 cups and one girl.....thirsty?

[lspencer534]

and how did you deduce that?

It's the only thing that works. Try it.

1. A recycling factory makes its own paper cups for canteen use. It can make one cup from nine used ones. If it has 961 used cups. How many new ones can it possibly make?

961 to start. 9 old=1 new

106 (use 954, 7 left over)

113 old: 12 new, 5 left over

17 old: 1 new, 8 left over

9 old: 1 new. done.

106+12+1+1=120 new cups.

that seems like a messy way to get an answer. brb.

That is correct! 3 points for the win! :cert::cert::cert:

Thanks, everybody, for playing!

[ZipZap]

and how did you deduce that?

2Red + 2Blue =100
3Red + 1Ball = 145
1Red + 1Blue + 2Ball = 100

Use the second equation to get 1Ball = (145 - 3Red)

Substitute for Ball in equation 3 to get 1Red + 1 Blue + 290 - 6 Red = 100
so, 5Red - 1Blue = 190 or 1Blue = 5Red - 190

Then, substitute for Blue in equation1 to get 2Red + 10Red -380 = 100
so, 12Red = 480. 1Red = 40.

Once you have that, then just plug into equations 1 & 2 to get Blue and Ball.
