SOLUTION TO LAST MONTH'S QUIZ
1) 21 p
2) £11
3) Neither. The volume of water in the wine-glass
and wine in the water-jug are the same.
Notes
1). If an orange costs R pence and a lemon costs L pence,
2R + 3L = 119
and R = L + 7
Solving, R = 28, L = 21
2). A + B = 29
B + C = 40
C + D = 65
2A - D = 0
Solving, A = 18, B = 11, C = 29, D = 36
3). Since the wine-glass and the water-jug each contain the
same volume of fluid as they did originally, the volume
transferred one way must equal the the volume
transferred the other way. (In fact each is 10/11 cl.)
