One simple math question for all.

For every 3 sweet wrappers, one can exchange for another sweet. If I buy 20 sweets, how many sweets can I get in total?

u never say that the sweets are wrapped in sweet wrappers, so answer is 20!

u get what u pay for!

good one. Don't get too work out over Math. I used to have a Math teacher, Mr Myles and we used to say have 6M, " Mr Myles Math Make Me Mad!!!!!"

MT, you are not wrong at all. But even if the sweets are wrapped with wrappers, I didn't ask how many sweets can I get if I exchange the wrappers for more sweets!!!

Sunny, where is your working? This is a 5 marks question, so if working is not shown, then you will get a miserable one mark should you get the correct answer.

too lazy to type working. i am no longer a student. let the student ironfist do it

no lah full working is for primary and secondary students. university standard can take shortcut.

Let x be the number of sweets i receive in total.
x = 30.

in real life how to get 30??

As per 'standard' redemtion rules in all major shopping centers, the redemption is only 1 time per person per day so the 'extra' sweet wrappers can only be redeemed by another person. Therefore what many students fail to notice is "how many sweets can I get in total?", not "how many sweets can be exchanged in total?" The answer is 26. The other sweets have to be redeemed by ANOTHER person.
