Q&A - P3 Math

Oh! this method is abit like the 2 legs and 4 legs question.


I also have a question which I remember someone ask before. But I can’t understand why? Hope someone can explain.

Jeremy brought a sum of money to buy some pencils. If he buys 4 pencils, he would be left with $2. If he buys 5 pencils, he would need another $1.

How much is the cost of 1 pencil? and how much money did he have at first?

Rule to remember: The remainder must always be smaller than the divisor.
Therefore, all options which are the same as the divisor (6) or larger than the divisor (7 and are not possible.
The answer is 4.

A skirt and a dress cost $155.
A skirt and a pair of pants cost $95
A skirt, a dress and a pair of pants cost $300
How much does a skirt cost?
Thank You!

This question has problem:


S+D=155
S+P=95
S+D+P=300

So, D=300-95=205; how can that be when S+D=155?
