Question: help…mad hard math question…3 college students to figure it out?
100 people went to the movies. It costs $100 to get in. Men pay $10, women pay $3 and children pay $0.50. How many women, children and men went?
i dont need help…i understand the problem…but thanks
oh wait nevermind i got it lol…wow…i shoulda though harder lol
no…100 people have to go to the movies….and the total of the money has to be 100 dollars even….but 100 People have to go to the movies…
Answer: M+W+C = 100
10M + 3W + 0.5*C = 100
Eliminating C
19M + 5W = 100
Clearly M must be a multiple of 5.
If M = 5, W = 1, C = 94
This works
If M = 0, W = 20, C = 80
This also works
You have two solutions.
Funny that in your picture you’re holding up two fingers.
