Can anyone help me with the following 2 problems?
1) Three girls play three rounds of a game. On each round there are two winners and one loser. The girl who loses on a round has to double the number of chips that each of the girls has by giving up some of her own. Each girl loses one round. At the end of three rounds each girl has 40 chips. Suppose that girl a, b and c have 70, 30 and 20 chips respectively and girl a loses the first round. How many chips will each girl have after this round?

2) Sasha and Francisco were selling lemonade for 25 cents per half cup and 50 cents per full cup. At the end of the day they had collected $15 and used 37 cups. How many full cups did they sell?

Note: Need answer by tommorow morning please help if you can!! Thanks!

Name Stuff.

H = # of half cups
F = # of full cups

Number of cups
H + F = 37

Funds
H(0.25) + F(0.50) = 15.00

Now what?

Are you serious? How many chips does a need to give to b and to c so b and c end up with double?

We don't supply "answer" here; this is a learning site, not a "do my homework" site :shock:
