AI Thread Summary
To determine the total money for John, Mike, and Felix, John's share is calculated as 2/5 of SGD 24,000, resulting in SGD 9,600. Mike's share, being half of John's money, amounts to SGD 4,800. Felix's share, which is one-third of Mike's money, totals SGD 1,600. The corrected total sum of their money is SGD 9,600 + SGD 4,800 + SGD 1,600, equaling SGD 16,000. A simpler ratio approach could streamline these calculations.

hello all.

my question :

John's money = 2/5 from SGD24000
Mike's money = 1/2 from John's money
Felix's money = 1/3 from Mike's money

determine all (sum) money them?

i have tried :

for John's money = 24000 x 5/2 = 60.000
for Mike's money = 1/2 x 60000 = 30000
for Felix's money = 1/3 x 60000 = 10000

sum of total money = 60000+30000+10000 = 100000

do you have more simple step/formula? maybe with ratio approach..

thanks..

What does that mean?

Also: 1/3 * 60000 = 20000, NOT 10000

Thread 'Trigonometry problem of interest'

Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
