Question

Isandro and Yvette each have a calculator. Yvette starts at 100 and subtracts 7 each time. Isandro starts at 0 and adds 3 each time. If they press the keys at the same time, will their displays ever show the same number? If so, what is the number?

Answer 1

Answer: 30

Explanation:

Yvette- 100-7

Isandro- 0+3

1.) I'm going to speed up the process and multiply by 5.

Yvette: 100-7

7 × 5 = 35

100-35= 65

65-35= 30

Isandro: 0+3

3 × 5 = 15

0+15= 15

15+15= 30

2.) If they keep going on this pattern they will have the same number on the 10 round.
