22 chocolate with 1 wrapper left

Prinq:
Hi everyone, I came across this strange question and decided to share with you.
QUESTION :
A Shop sells 1 chocolate at 1$, you can exchange 3 wrappers for 1 chocolate . If you have $15 , how many chocolates can you get ? Put your brain to the test..

Leave you answers in the comment box below***

Kentnickole:


Mathematically, 1 chocolate = $1; 3 wrappers = 1 chocolate. but 3 wrappers = 1 chocolate. therefore, 3wrappers = $1. Hence I can get 3×15 chocolate. Which is 45 chocolates.

Bro you can get 45 wrappers....

pls why is no one talking about what we should do with the wrapper we get from the 22nd chocolate?

Its useless cos you need 3 wrappers (additional 2 wrappers) to get another chocolate

Friedyokes:
but from the five u get 5 wrappers ....3 of which will give u another chocolate ....this in turn gives u one wrapper adding that to the 2 remaining from the 5 u get 1 more chocolate ....totalling 22 with one extra wrapper

Nice one!

Stop confusing yourself bro! (why 3 x 15?)

Some pple here na olodo
Let dis smile represent d chocolates
Let be d chocolate and let be the wrapper

15$= =15 chocolates
Wrapper=( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( )= 5 chocolates


(5 chocolates)=( ) (5 wrappers)

5 wrappers= ( )= 1 chocolate and ( = 2 wrappers
1 chocolate = 1 wrapper
So 1 wrapper + d remaining 2 wrappers
( + + = 1 chocolate
So total chocolates = 15+5+1+1=22 chocolates.

22 chocolates.

MoyoGENERAL:
hmmmm
Answer=
15+(5)+(1)+(0.67)+(0.33)+(0.33)
=22.33 Chocolates!!

OR

$15 = 15 chocolates
15 wraps = 5 chocolates
5wraps= 1chocolate 2 wraps
Finally wraps = 1 chocolate
The wrap from the final chocolate, will give .33 chocolate
Total no of chocolates = 15+5+1+1+0.33= 22.33 chocolates

Omo labi, iwe lari!
I didn't go through your solution but I'm sure it can't be less than correct.

phabulous88:
22.33 chocolates

Decimal?

Initially I tot it was 20.but some people are good up there.(I'm good too sha).

22 very correct

I like ur type. It is not easy to admit.
Kudos to u

how can you have 0.33 chocolates? Na his type dey solve question like "how many men can finish a particular task?" Ans: 2.5 men

The question says "how many chocolate can you get" not wrapper.

Young man, it is called precision!
If 3 wrappers can give you one chocolate, how many chocolate can a wrapper give you
How about that?
Rule 1: Don't discard remainders!
Rule 2: Don't argue what can be proven correctly!
Rule 3: When you don't know His type, you remain calm!

Its not reasonable cos you can't have a chocolate in decimal point.

The condition stated was clear, you can't have chocolate in rational numbers.

Perhaps you don't understand the meaning of the word "Reasonable"

..... I share a chocolate equally between A,B and C, How many chocolate will each get? Think about the answer!

You talked about condition, can you tell me where itwas stated in the question?

"A Shop sells 1 chocolate at 1$, you can exchange 3 wrappers for 1 chocolate . If you have $15 , how many chocolates can you get ? Put your brain to the test.."

Where is the condition?
It's just a question, solve! simple!
Don't assume what it isn't!
"Oh, ethereal bank of knowledge, why not share with us what you've got as meaning of reasonable"
We'll love to see!

Let's do small Maths and LOGIC:
If A is a SET And A={ you can exchange 3 wrappers for 1 chocolate}
Now if given Sets B,C and D as; B={ 1 wrapper will give 0.33 chocolate) C={ Chocolates do not have irrational numbers} D={ You cannot have decimals in chocolates}
Which of them can be closely inferred as a subset of A? Which of them can be TRUE if A is True without needing additional information?

This is not maths....This is logic. Don't treat it as maths.

In logic, if I tell you that A implies B....it doesn't mean that B implies A

If 3wrappers = 1 chocolate, logically 1 wrapper is not 0.33 chocolate

Don't bring in unstated conditions to justify your inference. Its illogical

Funny!
If it isn't maths, may be you should have used logic to solve the entire problem!!
Haven't you read about proportionality!
#It won't take time to study and Master#
They say, 3 can give one: how much can one then give!
#Mehn#

BTW....You conjured the unstated condition,"Chocolates cannot be in decimals"...Who said that That's out of context! purely irrelevant!


I only followed the proportionality statement, which is mathematically and logically correct!
Haven't you seen where 3 kids will share a chocolate amongst themselves, even equally

This is a buying and selling condition. You are not sharing chocolate among kids.

If I m a wholesaler, what gives you the impression that you can buy in retail.
