Both Tom and Tina have some money. Because it is a hot day, they decide to buy an ice cream for each of them. But then they realize they both don’t have enough money. Tom needs 24 cents more for his ice cream, and Tina needs two cents more to buy one. Now they decide to buy one ice cream together, but still they don’t have enough money to do so.
What does one ice cream cost?
Answer
25 cents.
Both possess some money. Tina needs two more cents, and because it is still not enough with Tom’s money to buy one ice cream, Tom only has one cent. Therefore, one ice cream costs 25 cents.
