.5$?
I am not sure because your title say that it is tricky.
yeps thats correct ;)
X + Y = 3
with x equals the soda en Y equals the bottle.
so X = Y + 2 (because the soda is worth 2 dollar more than the bottle)
So lets put this together:
(Y+2)+Y = 3
==> 2Y + 2 = 3
2Y = 3-2
2Y = 1
Y = 1/2 = 0,5
Tadaaa :D love the riddles on this site :D better than the good old bed time storys from the old days hehe :D
Kind regards
.5 for the bottle is wrong it should be $1.
The Soda is worth $2 more than the bottle. If you add $2 to .5 as a proof the total would be $2.5. But the puzzle said The price of the bottle was $3.
its not at all tricky man.....its quite simple........
bottle costs $.5 and soda $2.5
S = Soda
B= Bottle
S = 3
B = ?
S+B = 3 or B = 3-S
S = B+2 (because the soda is worth 2 dollar more than the bottle)
3 = B+2
B = 3-2
B = 1
So the cost of the bottle is $1
seems like everyone has diff views on the answer? if the cost off the bottle was 1. lets look at that, it says the soda is worth two more dollars than the bottle... so two more dollars than one dollar is three right? so that would just be the price of the soda!!! not including the bottle...
bottle and soda!!! not just soda
soda 2.50
bottle .50
total 3.00
get it?? soda 2 more than bottle
