A tricky little math challenge!

The image presents a math challenge from a Walmart recruitment examination, asking how much money should be paid when buying 48 apples under a “Buy 3, Get 1 Free” offer. Let’s break it down logically:

Understanding the Pricing and Offer

  • Each apple costs $2.
  • The offer states: “Buy 3, Get 1 Free.”
    • This means for every 4 apples, you only pay for 3.

Step 1: Calculate the Number of Apple Sets

Since the person wants to buy 48 apples, we group them into sets of 4 apples per offer:

48÷4=12 sets

So, there are 12 sets of 4 apples.

Step 2: Determine How Many Apples Are Paid For

Since each set includes 1 free apple, the number of apples actually paid for is:

12×3=36 apples

Step 3: Calculate the Total Cost

Each apple costs $2, so for 36 apples, the total cost is:

36×2=72

Final Answer

The total amount to be paid for 48 apples under the given offer is $72.
