No, the grain comes to the mill in a different form. We have to know the reduction in volume that occurs during the milling.

Happy Mental Nut Year!

Think carefully on this one.

$110

Unknown ...Which transaction? Or all three combined?
Since we don't know what he paid originally (before he sold for $90)
then we can only assume

It doesn't make any sense, so I'll say $190. That's probably this book's answer.:p:

Depends how much he bought the whore for in the first place

classicman 01-01-2012 08:36 PM

"The hunter walked around the tree"
Was he on horseback? Did he get the horse from this guy?

Of course (a horse a horse) we could wonder about any original price, but I don't think you're supposed to add elements to a story problem. Maybe he got a horse for his birthday...this book isn't the SATs. There's an answer.

Any simple math I do agrees with BigV...110, but then we get into the "too easy" category.

$20. Had $90 at first, $110 last.

He would have $110 if he also still had the horse.

infinite monkey 01-01-2012 10:18 PM

See, I only learned opposite math! :blush:

I'm dumb.

But what did he pay for it initially?

And I'm still not done with that circular squirrel yet....

I think he woke up one morning and it was in his barn.
