Answer:
Adam Parker bought 7 peppermints at 35 cents
John Smythe bought 10 gum drops at 50 cents
Peter Brown bought 5 lollipops at 75 cents
Tom Wilson bought 6 tootsie rolls at 60 cents
Explanation:
Let’s simplify the grid into smaller tables
Table NO.1Name Brown Parker Smythe Wilson Gum Lolli pepermnt tootsie
Adam —– —– —–
John —– —– —–
Peter Yes —– —– —– —– Y es —– —–
Tom —– —– —– Yes —–
From condition 1,3&5 Peter’s last name is found out which is Brown. Peter did not buy Tootsie rolls since he bought one piece less than the guy who bought tootsie rolls.He did not buy gum drops since they are bought in the largest quantity. He did not buy peppermint since the guy who peppermint got two more than the guy who bought lollipop.
Now coming to the amount spent,
Adam – 35 cents(given)
john-50 cents(given)
peter-65/75
tom-60 cents (given)
Peter spent 15 cents more than the guy who bought tootsie rolls. the price of tootsie rolls cannot be 35, since 50 cents was spent by john(contradicts). So, the amount spent by Peter is either 65 or 75.(He spent the most either way)
Condition 4: Arranging them in the order of their spending
Adam,John, Tom and Peter( use the given details in the table below)Name Brown Parker Smythe Wilson Gum Lolli pepermnt tootsie
Adam —– Yes —– —– —– —– Yes —–
John —– —– Yes —– Yes —– —– —–
Peter Yes —– —– —– —– Yes —– —–
Tom —– —– —– Yes —– —– —– Yes
Condition no 6:
10 gum drops is the largest. Peter spent the most bought the least quantity.( which is 5 lollipops).So, adam bought 7 peppermints.(condition 7)
From condition 1, Tom bought 6 tootsie rolls.- 3756 views
