Answer:
The 2nd paragraph has the straightforward answer, technically.
This is an example of gross domestic product and today's marketing. When a product is usually paid more money to manufacture than it costs to actually sell. However, the usual difference between manufacturing cost and sales cost is on average is at most 5 - 15% of the manufacturing cost.
The second problem however is just the perfect example of sales and sales tax. The diamond ring is on sale for 30% off in this case, because 290 divided by its percent is equal to 30%, the remaining amount.
If there are only two colors (let's say blue and red), here's what can happen:
sock #1 is blue
#2 is either blue or red. If blue, it matches #1 and you have a pair.
if red, go to #3
#3-either blue or red. If blue, matches #1. If red, matches #2.
OR sock #1 is red... then just reverse the colors. Basically, if you have three things that can only be in two groups, then even if two of them are different, the last one has to match one of them.
