Question

There are some frogs and some lily pads at a pond. If lily pads with frogs on them have two frogs each, then there are 3 lily pads with no frogs on it. If each lily pad has exactly one frog on it, then there are 3 frogs with no lily pad. How many frogs are at the pond

Answer 1

Frogs are at the pond = 12.

Given,

There are some frogs and some lily pads at a pond. If lily pads with frogs on them have two frogs each, then there are 3 lily pads with no frogs on them. If each lily pad has exactly one frog on it, then there are 3 frogs with no lily pad.

= 2( n-3) = n+3

= 2n -6 = n+3

=> n = 9

9 pads, 12 frogs.

Hence, Frogs are at the pond = 12.
