Question: BRAIN BUSTER!?!?!? A rich noble decided that he would give every man $45 and every woman $60!.!.!.!.!.!?
A rich noble decided that he would give every man $45 and every woman $60!. Only one ninth of the men and only one twelfth of the women collected their dues!. Can you tell me how much money the noble spent if there were 3552 people in total!?Www@Enter-QA@Com


Answers:
If there are x men, then there are (3552 - x) women!.

Thus one ninth of the men (= x / 9) received $45 and one twelve of the women (= (3552 - x) / 12) received $60!.

So the total recevied is (45 * (x / 9)) + (60 * (3552 - x) / 12), the x cancels leaving 5 * 3552 = 17,760!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

$17,760!.

1764 men, and 1788 women!.

(1764/9)= 196 men * $45= $8820!.

(1788/12) = 149 women * $60 = $8940!.

trick is to find a number divisible by 9, which when added to a number divisible by 12, equals 3552!.
