MATHS WEEK IS well underway with the country celebrating all the great things about algebra, trigonometry, probability and calculus.
Each morning, we’ve been setting you a puzzle to test your mathematical mettle. It’s all part of the drive to improve Ireland’s numeracy skills – and remember it’s never too late.
(If numbers absolutely terrify you, take a trip to the website where you’ll find more information and help).
Here’s Saturday’s puzzle:
A certain street is comprised of houses all with two adult minimum occupancy. Only 60% of houses pay their water charge which is €260 each. All houses have collected their Water Conservation Grant which is €100. The net collected from the street is €4,648. How many houses are on the street?
Check back tomorrow, same time of 11.15am, for the answers and for Sunday’s puzzle – the final one of the week.
