to the following arrangement: Naruto gives Sasuke as many coins as Sasuke has and Sakura as
many coins as Sakura has. After that, Sasuke gives Naruto and Sakura as many coins as each of
them has, and then Sakura give Naruto and Sasuke as many coins as each has. If each finally has

2.) Three farmers – Akai, Clint and Claude, spend a day gathering coconuts together. When they
have finished, they are very tired and fell asleep. The following morning Akai wakes up. Not
wishing to disturb his friends, he decides to divide the coconuts into three. There is one left
over, so he throws this odd one away, helps himself to his share, and goes home. A few minutes
later, Clint awakes. Not realizing that the first has already gone, he too divides the coconuts
into three. He finds one left over, throws the odd one away, helps himself to his fair share, and
goes home. In the morning, Claude wakes to find that he is alone. He spots the two discarded
coconuts, and puts them with the pile, giving him a total of 20 coconuts. How many coconuts
did the farmers gather in all?

Claude 20-2 = 18
Clint 18x3 = 54
Akai 54x3 = 162
Discarded =2

ANSWER: Therefore, the farmers gathered 164 coconuts.

3.) In consecutive turns of a Monopoly game, Miya first paid $800 for a hotel. She then lost half
her money when she landed on Boardwalk. Next, she collected $200 for passing GO. She then
lost half her remaining money when she landed on Illinois Avenue. Miya now has $2500. How
much did she have just before she purchases the hotel?

Result: $2500

Miya loses half of her remaining money $2500x2 = $5000

She collected money for passing GO $5000-$200 = $4800

She loses half of her money on Boardwalk $4800x2 = $9600


She paid $800 for a hotel $9600+$800 = $10400

ANSWER: Therefore, Miya has $10400 before she purchased hotel.
