100 - ab.c = ba.c

whats a,b,c equal too?

i need to do this for my report and explain what the hell this is and how to do it

but i have no idea how to do it

:lol:

Yeah, and why don't you post the rest of your homework as well so we can do that for you too?

well sheeeeeeeeeeeeeesh i just thought i could get some help cuz idk how to do it

;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) :dry: :dry: :dry: :dry: :dry: :dry: ;) ;) ;) ;) :dry: :dry:

But what would be the use of any of us doing it for you?
If you don't understand how to work it out, then ask your teacher.

You'll just get yourself into more trouble by not doing it.

is it like a and b are diff numbers or a * b.c :S it's a bit confusing.

Indeed, it's algebraic pish. You would either use the convention ab or a.b to represent a multiplied by b.

I can only answer to the best of my Knowledge, sorry.

It's old but it may be the answer to the question :unsure:

Just tell him the question makes no sense.

If you're quite young it could be as simple as
a=3
b=6
c=5
100 - 36.5 = 63.5 ?

He's got it.;)

if i'd thought about it before posting the first one that occurred to me then i would have realised that any 2 numbers adding up to 9 could be a and b so
a =1 b=8,
a=2, b=7
etc

:lol:

Indeed, there was me thinking it was badly written algebra. It's not maths, it's a silly wee puzzle.

thanks guys, you helped me out

Good man.;)

a=9
b=0
c=5

100 - 90.5 = 09.5

:idunno:

Yeah, I got this straight away. 8 possible answers. (not counting Tesco's)

100 - 81.5 = 18.5
100 - 72.5 = 27.5
100 - 63.5 = 36.5
100 - 54.5 = 45.5
100 - 45.5 = 54.5
100 - 36.5 = 63.5
100 - 27.5 = 72.5
100 - 18.5 = 81.5
