If six jelly beans and 5 fruit drops cost 85c, but 6 fruit drops and 5 jelly beans cost 80c, then how much is one jelly bean and how much is one fruit drop?

ok i'll start the answers then. 1:- no idea will work on it later 2:- son is 20 and dad is 40 years old. 3:- jelly bean is 10c each and fruit drop is 5c each.

Your answers for #2 and #3 are correct terry1966!

Anyone have a response for #1?

ooops forgot about this… and no time now.. but i will get around to finding the answer to 1 if no-one gets it first.

i've no idea but going to guess whisker because it's the only one with an i.

Whisker is correct… but your logic is wrong. I'll let this sit awhile and see if anyone comes up with the logic.

If anyone cares… the logic as to why whisker is the correct answer is because……… Each word contains a pronoun: him, her, its, his.

i'd never have gotten it.
