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

Very sneaky Bruce.

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.

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

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!

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.
