A dress store owner ordered a shipment of evening gowns for his shop. When they
arrived, the poor man found there had been a mistake. Half the garments were
coats, 20 percent were children's sizes and 24 of the garments were both coats
and in sizes for children. There were only 99 of the evening dresses he had
ordered. How many had he ordered initially?
I can solve the puzzle. Can you?
Yes, of course I can
Please solve the puzzle and post your answer.
Go back and check the thread, Kunty. You replied to me first. You
don't own anything except an undersized brain. That's not likely to
change.
You aren't much good at math either.

Half the shipment he received was coats. He received 99 evening
gowns. Children wear evening gowns so that is an obguscation. He
ordered 198 evening gowns, in various sizees, including children's.
You are the idiot. And you also know nothing about clothing. I
own you.
Bzzzzt! Wrong. The correct answer is 250.
There should have been 250 evening gowns. Half were coats which means
there were 125 coats, or 50%. Twenty percent were children's sizes,
which means 50, but of those, 24 were both coats and for children.
Therefore you must subtract the 24 from the total obtained, as these
are overlapping categories. You therefore have 50 percent, plus 20
percent, plus 99 - 24 = 100 percent.
So now you are a proven liar as well as a proven idiot, because you
kept insisting you knew the answer, when in fact you did not.
Care to try another?

Ha...you replied once again...I not only own you, I control
you...watch..I'm going to make you post again!
Tap, Tap, Tippity Tap.
What's your next dimwitted post going to be? "I'm rubber, you're
glue"?
You couldn't answer the puzzle correctly after all that bluster and
posturing.

I see that I'm going to have to put you in the big, black box until
you can behave yourself. Now get in there with Bobsprit or I'll
have to get the shock collar.
Will a shock collar help your math skills? I guess it might be worth a
try. You have nothing to lose.
