The true /biz/nessman test.

Cup+Water=$1.50
The water costs $1 more than the cup.
How much does the cup cost?

If you answer incorrectly sell all your crypto and get back to wagecucking.

When calculating the business case for a Six Sigma project, the cost of poor quality (COPQ), which is the cost caused through producing defects, is a commonly used concept. Within the total amount of quality cost, however, COPQ represents only a certain proportion. Costs do not result from only producing and fixing failures; a high amount of costs comes from ensuring that good products are produced. This article explains the cost of quality as a more comprehensive concept covering the cost of poor quality and the cost of good quality. In short, any cost that would not have been expended if quality were perfect contributes to the cost of quality.

It's a trick question. Real businessmen would know that the water would never cost $1 more than the cup

Good job. You formed a system of equations with 2 equations and 2 unknowns. Now solve it.

Spoiler: cup is $0.25 and water $1.25.

[Anonymous No.7935058]

>>7935016

Therefore, if the cup were $.25 and the water is $1.00 more, that would make the water $1.25.

$1.25 + $.25 = $1.50 = cup + water

if you don't understand how math works i guess it is easy.. to be wrong!

1 dollar more than cup.. A WHOLE DOLLAR MORE THAN THE CUP. Cup + Water = 1.50.
1.50 = Cup + (1.00 + Cup)
1.50 = 1.00 + 2Cup
.50 = 2Cup
0.25 = Cup

[Anonymous No.7935157]

water: 1 dollar
cup: 1/2 dollar

thus, the water costs 1 dollar more.

Cup = X

Ok OK, I acknowledge I am a brainlet with low IQ and low understanding of math but I have the heart to be open minded and not let that stop me from learning why I am wrong and correcting. Not all brainlets are brainlets if that makes any sense.

[Anonymous No.7935334]

Cup=X
Water=Y
$1=W

X+Y=$1.50
X+Y/W (X-Y+W) + (W/Y-X) = $0.25 = V
X+V = $1.25

Therefore the cup costs 25 cents and the water costs $1.25

This is kindertgarten maths.

Consider a regular six-sided die with four green faces and two red faces. The die will be rolled 20 times and the sequence of greens (G) and reds (R) will be recorded. You are asked to select one sequence, from a set of three, and you will win $25 if the sequence you choose appears on successive rolls of the die.

basic linear algebra

c+w = 1.5
w+1 = c

add 1 to w:

c+w = 1.5
1w = c

simplify:

c+w = 1.5
w = c

substitute w for c

c+c = 1.5

simplify:

c^2 = 1.5

simplify:

c = sqrt(1.5)

expand:

c = s*1.5 + q*1.5 + r*1.5 + t*1.5

look up values of s, q, r, and t in identities table:

s = 0.132321, q = 0.010212, r = 0.013112, t = 0.011021

substitute:

c = 0.132321*1.5 + 0.010212*1.5 + 0.013112*1.5 + 0.011021*1.5

multiply:

0.1984815 + 0.015318 + 0.019668 + 0.0165315

Add:

0.2137995 + 0.0361995

Add again:

0.249999

round to the nearest cent:

$0.25

GRGRRR since there is more green than red so you should probably see more greens in the sequence than a sequence mostly dominated by Reds.

Its RGRRR
It is the same sequence but with one less dependent event. for you to be right RGRRRR must also be right and something with a less than 1 probility must also occur (the other G rolle). Its the same as the feminist question, to be a banker and a feminist she has to be a banker.

It's like if you flip a coin, its a 50% chance of heads. if you flip it twice the chance it is heads than tails is 25% because it needs to be heads on the first flip first so its 50% of 50%. Obviously flipping a coin and getting heads is more likely than flipping two coins and both being heads.
The sequence of the dice roll doesnt matter since each roll is discrete with equal probility of each colour.

[Anonymous No.7937179]

>>7934793
obvious answer given is the cup is 50 cents but that does not work because that would make the water 1.5 plus cup equals 2. unironically the cup has to be 25 cents and the water is a dollar more making it 1.25 which would be cup .25 plus water 1.25 equals 1.50 do i get to keep my link?

[Anonymous No.7937367]

The cup is 19 cents plus tax and the water is 1.19 plus tax.

[Anonymous No.7937474]

1.50
+1 dollar
= 2.50 (dollars)

now we have 2 items (water + cup) so we divide by 2
2.50:2= 1,25$

So if the total is 1.50$
and water is 1.25$ then the cup must be
1.50$-1.25$= 0.25$

easy.

>Cup+water=$1.5
Is this my bottom line or sale price? If I've bought cups in differing quantities (therefore differing unit cost) then am I using the median cup price across all my cup stock, or checking which batch of cups this particular cup comes from and using the unit cost for that batch? How am I measuring the volume of water? By eye? Inaccurate. Error in water volume will affect the cost to me of this product over a few hundred or a few thousand sold. Where in that calculation are your sunk costs? Didn't think so. Sell all your businessmen and go back to sucking dick for chicken wings.
