Sunday, Melinda and Susan went to the cafe for a cup of tea. The total cost of the bill was $12 and was divided equally among the friends. Melinda paid $4 and Susan paid $4 as well. Who paid the remaining $4?​

Answer 1

$\textbf{\underline{Answer :-}}$

The remaining $4 is paid by Sunday.

$\textbf{\underline{Explanation :-}}$

Sunday here is a person's name.

By reading the question for the first time, Sunday can be determined as the day of a week when Melinda and Susan went to the cafe.

As a week consist of 7 days = Monday,Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, a reader may often get confused whether 'Sunday' here is a day or a name of a person.

If we consider Sunday as a person, there will be 3 people going to the cafe.

As the question mentions that Melinda paid $ 4

Susan paid $ 4.

From the total bill $12.

The remaining bill would be paid by Sunday.

$\tt{\implies \: Bill \: paid \: by \: Sunday =}$

$\tt{\implies12 - (4 + 4)}$

$\tt{\implies12 - 8}$

$\tt{\implies4}$

Therefore the bill paid by Sunday is $4.

$\therefore$The remaining $4 is paid by Sunday.

Answer 2

The remaining was paid by theire friend Sunday.. Which is Not clear as we mistake it as a day...

4$ paid by Susan

4$ Paid by Melinda

$4 by Sunday

=12$
