While walking through a market on vacation, you notice a small stand selling cameras. A camera- and-case set is selling for $310. The seller tells you that the camera costs $300 more than the case itself and that the case costs the price of the set minus the cost of the camera.
You decide you'd rather wait on buying a camera and opt to just buy the case alone. You hand the seller a $100 bill and see his eyes light up. Think fast now! How much change should you be getting back?

None! The shopkeeper will give you back their bullshit currency as change.
>>37468463
$95 obviously original nalt
>>37468463
I think it's 80 bucks
Price of the set: 310
Camera is 300 more than the case and case is the cost of the set minus camera price
Price of camera is 290
So case costs 310-290=20 bucks
You gave him 100 so he should be giving you 80 in change
>>37468463
90
the price of the set is not the sum of the prices of the individual parts
>>37468463
It's obviously 90
People who get it wrong are litteral retards
y = 100 - x
x + (x + 300) = 310
x = (310 - 300)/2
x = 5
y = 95

camera = case + 300
case = 310 - camera
~
camera = 310 - camera + 300
2 camera = 610
camera = 305
case = 5
you guys are seriously stupid

YOU LIGHT THE MATCH FIRST
NEXT RIDDLE, PROF.
Lets make it simple for you brainlets
Cost of set (Camera+Bag): $310 as stated here
>A camera- and-case set is selling for $310
And now the camera is $300 more than the case.
>The seller tells you that the camera costs $300 more than the case itself
NOW STOP
THIS PART RIGHT HERE YOU CAN SOLVE IT USING SIMPLE MATH AND LOGIC.
You do not need any more information, the rest if extra shit you skim over. It's easy arithmetic from now.
Since the camera costs $300 more than the case itself and the set is $310, you subtract the cost of the camera from the set to find the case value.
Or in simple terms: $310 (x+y)-300(y)= Case value, or x. Which is simply $10.
It's an easy question you should get right in 10 seconds after reading that part or you'd never score good on an ACT, SAT, or entrance exam.

Yeah, that's what I did, but the website says that you'll be getting $95 in change, whereas in your case, we'd be getting $90.

>10 dollars
>camera costs 300 dollars more than the case, so 310 dollars
suddenly set costs 320 thanks to your flawless calculations
How fucking dense are you?

>gets it wrong
set = 310
camera is 300 more than the case
therefore
case = 5
camera=305
=310
>>37468463
I dunno, what kind of camera are talking about here? I'm going to want specs and time to do some comparisons before I even think about spending that kind of money.
This reminds me of the GRE quantitative section. It's all riddle bullshit to me.
>>37468719
why type so much when you're so dumb lmao
The answer is 5.
