Question

a person earned $20 on 1 day and spent $ 15 on next day. He again earned $20 on the 3rd day and spent $15 on the fourth day and so on. On which day he will first have $60 with him?

Answer 1

first im going to ask you..if he earns 20 one day and loses 15 the next day...how much does he have in 2 days?

Answer 2

5+20+20=25?

Answer 3

Every 2 day that person would have $5. just keep adding 'till you get $60

Answer 4

There's a major problem with this problem. It doesn't say how much money he starts out with.

Answer 5

@znUnz , no, actually

Answer 6

huh? that's 20 - 15 in two days

Answer 7

at 40 dollars, he will get to 60.

Answer 8

k sry i thoght that he s earning 20 daily and not spending any

Answer 9

so how much does he have in 2 days?

Answer 10

5

Answer 11

on day 24 you will get $60

Answer 12

60 divided by 5?

Answer 13

20-15=5
therefore he takes two days to spent...therefore
5x=60*2
x=60*2/5
x=24
24 days

k thnx

Answer 31

Let me explain. Say a frog jumps 99 feet and drops 98 feet right after. If a wall is 100 feet, how many jumps does it take him to go as high as the wall?

Answer 32

Only 2.

Answer 33

Not 100, because on the second jump, he is already 100 feet, even though he falls back to 2 feet.

Answer 34

guys its wrong i think i may hav the answer

20-15=5
therefore he takes one and half days to spent...therefore
5x=60*2
x=60*1.5/5
x=18
18 days

Answer 35

do it manually

day 1 - 20
2 - 5
3 - 25
4 - 10
5 - 30
6 - 15
7 - 35
8 - 20
9 - 40
10 - 25
11 - 45
12 - 30
13 - 50
14 - 35
15 - 55
16 - 40
17 - 60

see?

Answer 36

18-45
19-65
20-50
*THESE NUMBERS DO NOT MATTER BECAUSE WE ALREADY REACHED 60 DOLLARS ON DAY 17!*

Answer 37

Wait. If you're talking about money saved then by the 24th day he would have saved $60.

If you want to have $60, then you would have $60 by the 17th day. ON the 18th day however, it drops back down to $45

Is that right @inkyvoyd

Answer 38

Exactly, @znUnz
