Wht did I buy?

[distressKing]

I walked into a store and ask the counter clerk... how much is for one of these? She told me five bucks. Ok I told her, I like the price what could you do for me if I want to buy ten. She told me that since i am so handsome she'll help me and sale it to me for ten bucks. I was happy and than I ask her why if I want one hundred? She told me that they have a special sale going on and that she'll sell it to me for ten percent off and it will only be 13.50. I said, I will take it... So what did I buy..?

First, you are buying an impulse item--something they put at the front counter so your impulse would make you buy them as you see them instantly.

Now, to answer your question: looks like first asked about the full package and that was $5.00 each. Then you wanted just ten of the contents, so she'd sell you $1.00 each of those round things inside the package. Then the $13.50 deal was based on the 100 round sticks in the package.

That's what you bought. But did you have a lighter?

NO... guess again. !

Her sexual service?

[Reporter]

That's why I thought he was talking about cigarette packs at one instance and then just about cigarette sticks at another. But he still says I'm wrong about that.

Now that I think more about it, he and the counter clerk are talking about how handsome he might be and what she "could do" for him, etc. I think it's just sexual service.

First, your highschool dropout English is noticeable.

Second, you can't do math. If 1 costs $5 each, and 5 costs $10 ($2/each), then how on earth does 100 of them cost $13.50 (13.5 cents each) if she says they were only 10% off?

100 * $5 = $500 - 10% = $450
100 * $2 (20 purchases of 5) = $200, $200 * 90% = $180.

At least go back and get your GED.

  Isn't it obvious?  He's buying the store!  They're probably selling it so cheaply because they owe alot of money on it and he'll have to carry the debt.

Hater!

This isn't really a riddle, it's the ghetto way of trying to look cool online with fake stories. And even if it were true, it's still pathetic.

Anyway, on a serious note, he bought condoms.

Sounds more like it. The way they talk, it's sex-related.

[YAX]

It could just be that he bought the item he was pointing to when he asked how much for one of them.

JUst because you're a high school drop out and can't figure out a riddle, don't need to be hating. RETARD...

*Too much detail in the story needed to be eliminated, i.e. your handsomeness  But I think you used that side story to distract us, right?

Working backwards, let's determine the cost of the items you are buying before 10% was taken off.
x * (1.00-.10) = 13.50
x=15
So 15 is the number that will be helpful from here.

buy one and it costs $5, ten costs $10, and one hundred costs $15

however, if you replace the words with digits, the problem can be simplified as

1=$5
10=$10
100=$15

And if you look long enough, voila...


Are you buying numbers?
