The Great Cheese Heist
A group of thieves has stolen a large quantity of cheese from the local dairy farm. The thieves have been caught on camera and the footage has been posted online. The police are investigating the case and have requested the public’s help in identifying the suspects.
The footage shows three individuals, each wearing a different colored hat, entering the dairy farm on the night of the theft. They can be seen walking towards the cheese storage room, where they spent several minutes before exiting with the stolen cheese. The footage also shows the suspects leaving the farm in a black van with tinted windows.
The police have released the following information about the suspects:
Suspect 1 (wearing a red hat):
* Height: 5’10”
* Weight: 170 lbs
* Hair Color: Brown
* Eye color: blue
Suspect 2 (wearing a blue hat):
* Height: 6’2”
* Weight: 200 lbs
* Hair Color: Blonde
* Eye color: Green
Suspect 3 (wearing a yellow hat):
* Height: 5’6”
* Weight: 140 lbs
* Hair Color: Black
* Eye color: Brown
The police have also released a list of items that were stolen from the dairy farm:
* 50 blocks of cheddar cheese (20 pounds each)
* 25 blocks of mozzarella cheese (10 pounds each)
* 10 blocks of feta cheese (5 pounds each)
* 10 tubs of sour cream (10 ounces each)
The police believe that the thieves may have sold some or all of the stolen cheese and sour cream to local grocery stores or online retailers. They are asking for anyone with information about the theft or the suspects’ whereabouts to come forward.
Calculate the total weight of the stolen cheese:
Calculate the total value of the stolen cheese:
Calculate the total weight and value of the sour cream that was stolen:
Calculate the total weight and value of all stolen items:
To calculate the total weight of the stolen cheese, we add up the weights of each type of cheese:
50 blocks of cheddar cheese (20 pounds each) = 50 * 20 = 1000 pounds
25 blocks of mozzarella cheese (10 pounds each) = 25 * 10 = 250 pounds
10 blocks of feta cheese (5 pounds each) = 10 * 5 = 50 pounds
Total weight of stolen cheese = 1000 + 250 + 50 = 1300 pounds
To calculate the total value of the stolen cheese, we need to know the price per pound of each type of cheese. Assuming we have that information, we can multiply the weight of each type of cheese by its respective price per pound and then sum them up:
Let's say the prices per pound are as follows:
Cheddar cheese = $5 per pound
Mozzarella cheese = $4 per pound
Feta cheese = $6 per pound
Total value of stolen cheddar cheese = 1000 * $5 = $5000
Total value of stolen mozzarella cheese = 250 * $4 = $1000
Total value of stolen feta cheese = 50 * $6 = $300
Total value of stolen cheese = $5000 + $1000 + $300 = $6300
For the sour cream stolen:
10 tubs of sour cream (10 ounces each) = 10 * 10 = 100 ounces
Now, to calculate the weight of the sour cream in pounds, we divide the total ounces by 16 (since there are 16 ounces in a pound):
Weight of stolen sour cream = 100 / 16 = 6.25 pounds
If we know the price per ounce of sour cream, we can calculate the total value. Let's assume the price per ounce is $0.50:
Total value of stolen sour cream = 100 * $0.50 = $50
To calculate the total weight of all stolen items:
Total weight = total weight of cheese + weight of sour cream
Total weight = 1300 pounds + 6.25 pounds = 1306.25 pounds
To calculate the total value of all stolen items:
Total value = total value of cheese + total value of sour cream
Total value = $6300 + $50 = $6350
