Solve This Word Problem And Get A Gift by TemitopeDaniel(m): 9:09pm On Jul 18, 2014 |
A daughter wanted to buy a laptop and had no cash on her. At the end of the day, she borrowed #50,000[/b]each from her parents. She bought the laptop for [b]#97,000[/b]and had a change of [b]#3,000. She got home and felt she should repay her debts. She gave her father #1,000 and her mother #1,000. She kept the remaining ]#1,000 to herself. From the explanation above, she would be oweing her father #49,000 and mother #49,000. Then the addition of her debt is #49,000 + #49,000 = 98,000 She had #1,000 to herself; 98,000+1,000= 99,000 WHERE IS THE REMAINING #1,000 LEFT FOR IT TO BE #100,000 |

Lemme clerify more... she borrowed fifty thousand from mum also fifty thousand from dad. she returned one thousand naira each to them at the end of d day which means she was now oweing #49,000 to each of them and laptop na 97,000. the total money she'd return would be 49,000 (mother)+ 49,000 (father) which is 98,000 naira and she had #1,000 with her, making 98,000+ 1,000 = 99,000 WHERE'S THE REMAINING ONE THOUSAND?? |

There is no 'missing' money. See, after borrowing 100k, you used up 97k for the laptop. You returned 1k to each of your parents, so you owe 98k total. This 98k should correspond to the 97k (for the laptop) plus the 1k that you have with you simple. I.e u borrowed 100k returned 2k remaining 98k bought d lappy 97k which leaves the 1k with u. Got it? Now where's ma gift 1 Like |

TemitopeDaniel: U wrong oh... after giving mother 1,000 and father likewise, she'd b owein dem 49,000 each. Am not wrong oh.....except u do not comprehend wat I said. Lemme explain it another way. U borrowed 100,000 in total and returned 1000 to each parent that's 100,000-2,000= 98,000. So u owe 98,000 now let's account for the 98,000 u still owe. Out of it, u bought a laptop of 97,000 and u have 1000 that's still with u. So 97,000+2,000+1,000 gives us the 100,000 total. got it now?. So where's my gift? PS. U do not add the 1k with her to the total owed its already part of the initial amount borrowed 1 Like |

imdolufemi:you've still not proven it to my taste... everyone knows that step. I'm talking about d 49,000 each she was oweing. so, 49,000+49,000 +1,000 (that money she had left) don't use d method of 98,000... everyone knws you'll get it that way, i'm talking about the method up there... |
Re: Solve This Word Problem And Get A Gift by Nobody: 10:52am On Jul 23, 2014 |
She lost d remaining 1000 |
Re: Solve This Word Problem And Get A Gift by Nobody: 11:26am On Jul 23, 2014 |
U cant add the 1k she kept to her self. That 1k is no longer part of the money cos she has converted it to her personal money. So 99k - 1 = 98. If u add the already 2 k returned. It makes it complete 100. |
Re: Solve This Word Problem And Get A Gift by Mogenerous(f): 11:54am On Jul 23, 2014 |
There is no 1k missing anywhere since at the point of getting the laptop, she had 101k with her, that is, getting 50k from each parent.... After the purchase, she had 4k left which means she didn't spend her 1k and had been kept aside, so after returning 1k each to the parents, she had her 1k with her which is the 1k left of the 100k since she got the laptop for 97k and had returned 1k each... Now assuming she borrowed 49k each since after she got the laptop she returned 1k... 98k borrowed-1k left is 97k... |

runzlord: U cant add the 1k she kept to her self. That 1k is no longer part of the money cos she has converted it to her personal money. Sothe personal money u re saying is not hers oh! it's part of the money she borrowed, she just didn't want to be empty handed that's why she kept it. the money still belongs to hwr parents. You've nt given d right evaluation. |

Mogenerous: There is no 1k anywhere since at the point of getting the laptop, she had 101k with her, that is, getting 50k from each parent.... After the purchase, she had 3k left which means she didn't spend her 1k, so after returning 1k each to the parents, she had her 1k with her. Which makes it 98k left to return i.e 49k for each parent... So judging with that it means101k? na 100 na. |

TemitopeDaniel: you've still not proven it to my taste... everyone knows that step. I'm talking about d 49,000 each she was oweing.chai....just tell me there's no gift ok let's look at it this way so you borrow 100k, cost of the laptop is 97k so you get 3k in change. total cost was 97 ÷ 2 people to pay back = 48.5 each so if you give them each 1k change, that’s 49.50 each, times 2 is 99 total, and the remaining 1k goes to you. I didn't use the 98k method hope u ar satisfied now |

You've nt given d right evaluation.I know. But she has removed the money frm the 100k and made it hers now. |
Re: Solve This Word Problem And Get A Gift by Princesschi(f): 3:44pm On Jul 23, 2014 |
She borrowed 50k frm her mum and 50k frm her dad. She bought d lappi for 97k, she paid back 1k to dad and 1k to mum which means she's nw owing them 49k each. She kept back 1k, nw assuming she wanted to pay back everything, and she divides that her 1k, she would have given mum 1500 and dad 1500 which is equal to #3000, if u add it to the amount of d lappy 97,000 u'll get ur 100k back. |

She bought the laptop for [b]#97,000[/b]and had a change of [b]#3,000. ...just tell me why you added #98,000 to the #1,000 left with her. Because, in the real sense, you should add the cost of the laptop (97k), 2k she gave her parents, then 1k left with her...with this you have a total of 100k. The 98k you calculated as 49k + 49k will be the sum of the 1k left with her, and 97k loan her husband gave her, before adding it to the 2k she gave her parents. Incase you misplaced the prize, find a replacement ASAP. |
