100*3+x*2.5 = 500
=>2.5x= 200 =>x=2000/25 = 80

so 180.

An useless question yar, wat is the motive behind this crap trash.
Charged up again to beat the beast :)

First 100 units = 100*3= $300

Left : 500-300 = $200

x * 2.5 = 200 ; x=80.

So total = 180 for $ 500 .

Actually I realized after solving it, since I had wasted all that I can, I thought pressing ok rather than cancel, wohu really put verbal Q, I am quite sure how good they will be seeing this sample, do let me know that, so that I can avoid that through distance :( hehee
