countdown maths puzzle

[Randall]

sure everyone is familiar with the countdown numbers game, getting the target from the numbers provided

try this one

target 431

using

25 50 100 75 8 2

[andy a]

It can be done (thank you Excel)!

75*50 = 3,750
-100 = 3,650
-2 = 3,648
/8 = 456
-25 = 431

[Randall]

theres two ways of doing it then!

try to find the other way unaided!

[andy a]

In my head? There's plenty of room in there but no maths capability!!

[Stran]

i can get 432 does that count lol

[Randall]

i can get 432 does that count lol

how did you get that?

[Stran]

100 / 25 = 4

then 4 + 50 = 54

then 8 x 54 = 432

[Randall]

[Stran]

can also get 430 if you take away the 2 thats still left to the above solution

It's amazing where the offer of a brand spanking new white cane can get you Nick!

[Pieman]

I got 425

8*100 = 800
800+50 = 850
850\2 = 425

[Randall]

closer than i got mate.

[coombsy48]

100+75x2=350
50+25+8=83

83+350=433

[coombsy48]
