Question

You have $10

1 bottle of snapple costs $2
You can exchange 2 bottle caps for 1 new bottle of snapple.
You can exchange 4 empty bottles for 1 new bottle of snapple.

How many bottles of snapple can you get (after all of the drinking and exchanging) with your 10 dollars?

Answer 1

Dear lord let me get some pen and paper

Answer 2

Also do the empty bottles have caps on them?

Answer 3

When you buy a bottle -> you drink it and now you have 1 cap and 1 empty bottle

Answer 4

Alright

Answer 5

Wait this isn't bad

Answer 6

1 moment pls

Answer 7

so for the first part where it says 2 bottle caps for 1,it would be 5,but where it says 4 empty bottles for 1,it would be 2.5 to be exact,so if the parts are dif,wut i said would be correct.......................... i think-

Answer 8

2 caps= 1 bottle
10 caps= 5 bottles
8 empty bottles= 3 new bottles
5+3=8
You can get 8 bottles

Answer 9

Every 4 bottles is 1 new bottle, you only get 4 twice, so 2 are left

Answer 16

Infinity~

Answer 17

With $10, we can buy 5 snapples.

5 snapples = 5 bottles + 5 caps

5 bottles = 1 snapples + 1 bottle left
5 caps = 2 snapples + 1 cap left

Total number of snapples so far is 5+1+2 = 8

With the 3 new snapples we get 3 caps and 3 bottles. Add this to our remaining bottle and cap.

4 bottles = 1 snapple
4 caps = 2 snapples

Total number of snapples so far is 8+1+2 = 11

With the 3 new snapples, we get 3 caps and 3 bottles

3 bottles = no snapple + 3 bottles remaining
3 caps = 1 snapple + 1 cap remaining

Total snapples is now 11+1 = 12

With the 1 new snapple, we get another bottle and another cap. Add in our 3 remaining bottles and 1 cap.

3 bottles = 1 snapple
2 caps = 1 snapple

Total snapples is now 12+1+1 = 14
And we have 2 caps and 2 empty bottles

2 bottles = 2 bottles remaining
2 caps = 1 snapple

Total snapples is now 14+1 = 15
We have one bottle and 1 cap. Add that to our remaining 2 bottles.
We have 3 empty bottles which we can't trade in anything for.

You can get a total of 15 snapples.

Answer 18

@AZ with the perfect solution, well done :)

Answer 19

2 bottle caps= 1 full bottle
which means 2 divided by 10 is 5 so 6 bottles
4 empty bottles= 1 full bottle
which means 4 divided by 10 is 2.5 to be exact
and in the whole problem where the hell do we do an exchange-

Answer 20

I'm glad you think it was interesting x'D
My dad showed me the question saying I can ask it to my students. I got 12 on my first try. It's also technically an elementary school level question - but I'm sure the children had physical manipulatives to work with.
