Tiffany Towers Red Swinsuit

The man who calculated.


Legend has it that the great calculator Beremiz arrive at the inn the old Salim, that he posed the following problem:

- A jeweler who came to sell their jewelry I promised that I would pay 20 dinars for lodging if sold her jewelry for 100 dinars and 35 if he could sell for 200 dinars. After a few days eventually sold for 140 dinars, and therefore should pay me 28 dinars, but the jeweler just want to pay me 24.5.

- What reasoning did Salim and the jeweler to get each one to its solution?

- How much should actually pay for lodging, according to the treatment provided?







The following is a graphical representation of the problem . Move point X to approximate the solution.
selecting the check boxes you can see the proposals of the jeweler and the landlord. What do you think?
