strawberries = 4:2:1:2Lets say School has 70 flags, comprising of 20 orange, 20 white, 20 green and 10 bluesudhir3127 wrote:i agree with what chase has done int erms of calculation...
was just wondering where has it written that we need to take only grapes as 3. why cant the apples be 3 or oranges be 3?
can u please explain that?
I understand your explanation. What I am confused is that when the question is asked what is the minimum you need to pay to ge 3 in each flavour, that I need to spend atleast $20.7 to get that.parallel_chase wrote:I know why this question can be confusing.
Anyways here is the answer.
The ratio of apples:orangesstrawberries = 4:2:1:2
total number of candies = 90
apples=40
oranges=20
grapes=10
strawberries=20
Now the question is saying how many candies you should pick to get the atleast 3 of each type.
Lets take the worst case scenario
apples = 40
oranges=20
strawberries =20
grapes =3 (because total candies=90, 40+20+20=80, we are only left with grapes pick 3)
83*0.25 = $20.7
Hope this helps.
