In 3500 g rod contains 74% of silver = 3500 * 74/100 = 2590 g
Then 3500 g + 500 g of rod contains 84% of silver
Let x be the silver contained in 500 g of silver
(2590/3500 * 100) + (x/500 * 100) = 84
74 + x/5 = 84
(370 + x) /5 = 84
370 + x = 420
x = 50
Then the percentage of silver contained in 500 g of rod = 50/500 *100 =10%

190, 166, 145, 128, 112, 100, 91
128 is incorrect. There is a difference of multiples of 3 in the number pattern, which starts at 24 and reduces by 3 each time. Therefore the correct pattern would read 190, 166, 145, 127, 112, 100, 91.
this would leave the pattern with differences in the pattern 24, 21, 18, 15, 12, 9. The next number in the pattern would be 6 lower than 91. 91 – 6 = 85. Then 85 -3 – 82, followed by 82 – 0 = 82. After this, if -3 were taken the pattern would start to rise so 82 – – 3 = 85.

Let the number be 10Y+X
(10Y+X)/2 = (10X+Y)/3+6
(10Y+X)(1/2-1/3) = 6
10Y+X = 36
Therefore, sum of the digits = 3+6 = 9
Ans: 9

First write equations from info:
(A) (Mon + Tue + Wed)/3 = 111 Rearrange as ——–> Tue + Wed = 111 – Mon
(B) (Tue + Wed + Thu)/3 =102 Rearrange as ——–> Tue + Wed = 102 – Thu
(C) Thu = 0.8(Mon)
Substitute equation C into B:
(B) Tue + Wed = 102 – 0.8(Mon)
At this point I changed the values for clearer algebra:
Mon = x
Tue + Wed = y
Re-write equations A & B with new values:
(A) y = 111 – x
(B) y = 102 – 0.8x
Solve simultaneous equations:
111 – x = 102 – 0.8x
111 – 102 = x – 0.8x (Re-arraged)
9 = 0.2x
x = 45
Thus, Mon = 45C
Thu = 0.8(45)
Thu = 36C
So the answer is it was 36C on Thursday
