Question

How much money does Peter have ? If the amount of money Peter has it tripletd it will be less than 100$

Answer 1

Answer:

30 is the answer because 30 + 30 + 30 - 90

Answer 2

Answer : Peter has 33 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

let the money Peter has be x

now , according to the info

3x < 100 and 2x > 65

it means that the one more x added in the 2x will not exceed the sum more than 100 as 3x is < 100

as per the info 2x is more than 65,

let us assume that the 2x is 66......(1)

now

2x + x = 3x

therefore let us assume 3x as 99 (less than 100)

2x + x = 99

66 + x = 99....... from 1

therefore x = 33

33 matches every condition

double it will be 66 which is more than 65

tripple it it will be less than 100 that is. 99

if the x is 32 then

32*2 64 therefore it doesn't matches the second condition

again if the x is 34

then 34 x 2 is 68 and 34 x 3 is 103

which again does not match the first condition

hence our assumption is true

therefore the money which Peter has is 33$ as it fulfills every condition.
