March 29 Your answer an-swer to the steer problem Is hardly satisfactory, sat-isfactory, and still It may be correct. : I wish to ask if my method could be ' correct: A gets 6c per pound for 1100 pounds of his 1400-pound steer and 5c a pound for the remaining CCD pounds, and B gets 4c per pound for his 1100-pound 1100-pound steer, which gives A SSI for his 1400-iound steer and B 544 for his 1100-pound 1100-pound steer; total, $125.

Thirc- doesn t seeni to be anything) (llflicult nbout the problem. Hero U is, aa submitted; "A has a steer that wolghfi 1-100 1 pounds, B has a steer that weighs 1100 pounds, and they ship these steers together to-gether und agree that A'.s steer is worth 1 cent per pound more than B's, and they sell those steers for rents per pound; what docs A's steer come to, and also B's'i"-And B's'i"-And here was our answer: "The sale of both steers realized $125. ?.Ltllls' A ahould receive $7C.1C, for his i; Vo ,Kl stuer' at ?5--14 l1er ""fi H S4S.SI for his 1100-pound steer, at 5.11 per 100; thus- are all conditions of the problem met." In this solution the requirement that As steer shall bring 1 cent a pound more Hum B's Is satisfied; the total amount is stated, the price per pound each gets Is given, being us the statement state-ment of the problem requires, and the money is dlvllcd between the two owners according to the stipulations, what each Kots in the value of I he steers according lo agreement, Jiml what both get equals the total amount that both steers sold for. "Wo don't see anything in the matter that requires any possible further explanation. On the other hand, you. In your solution, so-lution, pay A 2 cents a pound more for part of his steer than B receives for his, which does not conform to the conditions con-ditions at all, a difference of 1 cent only being allowed. Tou thus pay A too much and B too little. Look over our solution carefully and see if there la nnylhlng wrong with it. We consider it sound. |
