Math Question!

If 60 Bells is on the ground, and Tom Nook comes and takes them, leaves 30 Bells from what he picked up, takes 10, adds 40 more to that, then how many Bells did Tom Nook take?

He never took any


:huh:

 

[TERRY16389]

...This is easy. He took all of them. Plus a few. 80.

What???
60 on ground= 60
leaves 30 = 30
takes 10 = 20
adds 40 = 60

that leaves 60. Unless its a trick question and he has his own money or something...

 

[LAVOS5]

He took only 70.

He took more then was there...
So he took 60, left 30 =30.
takes 10=40
and adds 40 more= 80
or wait... its how many he took, so wouldn't it be 40?

 

[LAVOS5]

It said he took 60 Bells, than later took 10 more. Even though he dropped 30 and "added" 40 more, the question was how many he took (70), not how many he ended up with (80).

But he left them, so he really didn't take them, so wouldn't it be 40?

Actually...lemme change this in a sec...

"If 60 Bells is on the ground, and Tom Nook comes and takes them, leaves 30 Bells from what he picked up, takes 10, adds 40 more to that, then how many Bells did Tom Nook take?"


N = Number of bells tom nook took in the beginning

so that means

N - 30 + 10 + 40 = 60

There isn't enough information to figure out this problem so this is the closest you can get...

The answer is between 50 and 60 but there isn't enough info to find the exact answer.


So that means Terry, Lavos, and ZF's first answer were wrong, and TK's answer was kinda right.

But the question was how many did he take, not how many does he have. The 40 he didn't take, he added to the money he took.

Look you are all forgeting that it is nook so while you were all trying to figure this out he took all your money :lol: I solved it!

 

[Smart_Tech_Dragon_15]

60 Bells. So, he picked them all up and dropped them.

 

[Smart_Tech_Dragon_15]

Hm...You know, I never really cared for Math. History is more my thing.

Hm...your Brian, eh? Who's that?
