Surprisingly easy. 18!
18
5 x 8 = 40
5 x 6 = 30
8 x 3 = 24
6 x 3 = 18
40 - (8x2) = 24
40 - (5x2) = 30
30 - (6x2) = 18
24 - (3x2) = 18
Thanks, 336! I had it really wrong!
Everyone else says 18, I say 18.
'nuff said
Here's how it works:
30/40=.75 (or 75%)
X/24=Y (we want 75% or 3/4)
24/4=6
3X6=18
X=18
simple math, why can't we do that anymore?
Had a 24 or 30 pack can't remember. Woke up and had 18 pack. Smoked a ciggerette, looked at this and drank 2 more beers. Still got 18, give or take a six pack. 18
18 unless this is a democratic puzzle. Then it would obviously be -18.
