Question

You entered a room, of 34 people. A shooter then enters killing 30. How many people are left in the room?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

I entered a room of 34 people, not 34+1=35 people.

Shooter enters, 35+1=36 people.

Shooter kills 30, so there are 30 dead bodies and 6 people alive but the total number of people in the room is still 36.

(The question doesn’t specify if the people left in the room should be dead or alive.)

Answer 2

The number of people left in the room is 36.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of people in the room is given as:

N = (Number of people in room) + (Number of people entered the room) + (Number of people left the room)

Number of people in the room = 34 (Given)

Number of people entered the room = Person entered + Shooter = 2

Number of people left the room = 0

Now, the number of people left in the room is given as:

N = 34 + 2 + 0

∴ N = 36
