I have some bananas on sunday,on monday morning i ate some of them and at night it became double,on tuesday morning i ate same number of bananas and at night also it became double,this process continued till saturday and all the bananas were finished.find the number of bananas i had on sunday, and how many did i eat daily??plz help
danged if I know. Can't quite make sens of your strange syntax.
and at night it became double,
what became double?
The banana
To find the number of bananas you had on Sunday and how many you ate each day, let's break down the information given:
- On Monday morning, the bananas double compared to Sunday.
- On Monday night, you ate some bananas.
- On Tuesday morning, the bananas double compared to Monday.
- On Tuesday night, you ate the same number of bananas as in the morning.
- This process continued until Saturday, and all the bananas were finished.
Let's use a step-by-step approach to solve the problem:
Step 1: Start with the bananas you had on Sunday.
Let's assume the number of bananas you had on Sunday is 'x'.
Step 2: Calculate the number of bananas at each stage of the week.
- Monday morning: 2x (double the number from Sunday)
- Monday night: 2x - y (where 'y' is the number of bananas you ate on Monday)
- Tuesday morning: (2x - y) * 2 = 4x - 2y (double the number from Monday morning)
- Tuesday night: (4x - 2y) - y = 4x - 3y (subtract the number of bananas you ate at night)
- Wednesday morning: (4x - 3y) * 2 = 8x - 6y
- Wednesday night: (8x - 6y) - y = 8x - 7y
- Continue this pattern for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
Step 3: Use the information that all the bananas were finished on Saturday.
On Saturday, the number of bananas you have will be zero:
8x - 7y = 0
Step 4: Solve the equation to find the values of 'x' and 'y'.
8x - 7y = 0
This equation suggests that the number of bananas you had on Sunday was divisible by 7.
For example, if you had 7 bananas on Sunday (x = 7), and you ate 1 banana per day (y = 1), the equation would hold true:
(8 * 7) - (7 * 1) = 0
To find the exact values of 'x' and 'y', you need more information or constraints. Otherwise, there are multiple combinations of 'x' and 'y' that can satisfy the equation.
In summary, the equation 8x - 7y = 0 represents the relationship between the number of bananas you had on Sunday ('x') and the number you ate each day ('y'). More information or constraints are needed to determine the specific values of 'x' and 'y'.
