Am stumped! Is it as straight fwd as I think? Anybody answer?

KillerSquirrel · Answer

taking one for the team: lets assume 100 items in storage: 15 = cans of coke 15/100 = 15% 45 = cans of not coke = 45/100 = 45% 40 = other items so cans = 60/100 = 60% But this is not tricky, so this is wrong ? anyone ?

Finding Perdition · Answer

Let there be 100 cans in the storage.

coke cans=15
cans which are not coke=45

looks 60% to me too! Though wording is a little confusing!

Hello!

This is my first post. I hope not to break any rule.

Is it 100%?

If a storage contains cans, I understand that the kind of cans that it contains does not matter.

However, if this were a DS question I would ask myself, "Does the storage contain only cans? In this case I understand that it is so.

Coke in Cans = 15%
Coke in Non Cans = 85% (given as 45%)
Non Coke in Cans = 100-15% = 85%
Non Coke in Non cans = 15%

So total % of cans = 100/200*100 = 50%
