Let y be the total number of loaves
a be the remaining loaves after 1st thief
b be the remaining loaves after 2nd thief
and c, d..so on after 3 and 4 th
e = 0 be the remaining loaves after 5th thief
a = y - (y/2 + 1/2)
= y/2 - 1/2
b = a - (a/2 + 1/2)
= a/2 - 1/2
c = b - (b/2 + 1/2)
= b/2 - 1/2
d = c - (c/2 + 1/2)
= c/2 - 1/2
e = d - (d/2 + 1/2)
= d/2 - 1/2
we know that, e = 0,
thus by substitution, we get
d = 1
c = 3
b = 7
a = 15
y = 31
Therefore total number of bread loaves in bakery was 31.
47/10000 = .0047
.02 =(2/100) x 100% =2%
Let N / 11 = 233
Then, N = 233 x 11 = 2563
? Missing digit is 5.
121012 = 12 x 10084 + 4
? remainder = 4
We have the important relation, More work, More time (days)
? A piece of work can be done in 6 days.
? Three times of work of same type can be done in 6 x 3
= 18 days
? = 750.0003 ÷ 19.999
? ? ? 750 ÷ 20
? ? ? 375 ? 38
Subtract 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 from successive numbers. So 0 is wrong.
