Given:

First customer bought 1/2 of all eggs of lady seller and 1/2 of an egg.

Her second customer bought 1/2 of all the remaining eggs and 1/2 of an egg.

At this point she had sold all her eggs.

To find:

The number of egg the lady have when she came to the market.

Solution:

Let x be the number of egg that the lady have when she came to the market.

First customer bought 1/2 of all eggs of lady seller and 1/2 of an egg. So, the number of remaining eggs after first customer is

$x-\dfrac{1}{2}x-\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{x}{2}-\dfrac{1}{2}$

Her second customer bought 1/2 of all the remaining eggs and 1/2 of an egg. So, the number of remining egg after second customer is

$\text{Remaining eggs}=\dfrac{x}{2}-\dfrac{1}{2}-(\dfrac{x}{2}-\dfrac{1}{2})\times \dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{1}{2}$

$=\dfrac{x}{2}-\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{x}{4}+\dfrac{1}{4}-\dfrac{1}{2}$

$=(\dfrac{x}{2}-\dfrac{x}{4})+(-\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{4}-\dfrac{1}{2})$

$=(\dfrac{2x-x}{4})+(\dfrac{-2+1-2}{4})$

$=\dfrac{x}{4}-\dfrac{3}{4}$

At this point she had sold all her eggs. It means the remining eggs is 0.

$\dfrac{x}{4}-\dfrac{3}{4}=0$

$\dfrac{x}{4}=\dfrac{3}{4}$

Multiply both sides by 4.

x=3

Therefore, the lady came to the market is with 3 eggs.

Answer from: Quest

answer: ratio of volume of cone (with 3 times the height and equal diameter) to volume of cylinder is 2 to 1. the value of π is not used.

step-by-step explanation:

radius is diameter/2 = 4.

area of circle is π r^2.

volume of cylinder is height × area of base = hπr^2 = 3(4^2) π = 48π cubic inches.

not knowing the formula for volume of cone, i calculate it using calculus (which is for calculating things).

volume of cone is integral 0 to h area(y) dy. area(y) is π r(y)^2. r(y) runs r to zero as y runs zero to h, r(0) = r, r(h) = 0.

r(y) = r - r/h y

area(y) = π (r - r/h y)^2 = π (r^2 - 2r^2y/h + r^2y^2/h^2) = π r^2(1-2y/h+y^2/h^2)

antiderivative area(y) = π r^2 (y-y^2/h+y^3/(3h^2))

integral 0 to h = π r^2(h-h^2/h+h^3/(3h^2) - (0)) = π r^2(h - h + h/3) = π r^2(h/3) = π/3 r^2 h

volume of this cone is π/3(4^2)18 cubic inches.

= 6 16 π = 96π cubic inches.

cone has twice the volume, 96/48.

cone height is 6 times the cylinder.

ratio of volume formula: π r^2 cancels.

cone over cylinder ratio is 6h/3 to h, 2 to 1.
