Let's Exercise That Brain Today:

Third Question on a promotion test I took in 1967.

Read the question carefully--------

One Hundred (100) people attended a baseball game. 


The first attendees were a husband and wife and their two children.

Exactly one hundred dollars ($100.00) was taken in this day as admissions.

The price for tickets was:

Men ten dollars ($10.00)

Women three dollars ($3.00)

children fifty cents ($.50)

How many of each attended?

Did not get an answer.  The reasoning behind this question is to observe how the answering person utilizes logic and somewhat common sense.  They allowed 20 minutes to solve the problem and I will admit it took me the entire time allowed, but I did get the correct answer.

The answer-

88 children at $.50 (fifty cents) each = $44.00

2 women at $3.00 (three dollars) each = $6.00

10 men at $5.00 (five dollars) each = $50.00

Total attendees=100

Amount received= $100.00

Jane, that is a long ways  from 100 attendees.
