38. A Very Kind Beggar

A very kind beggar has 5 dollars until he saw another 5 dollars in his way. And when he saw a store, he bought 3 biscuits that cost 1 dollars each. How much is his money?

Solution:

The beggar initially has 5 dollars and finds another 5 dollars, bringing his total to 10 dollars. However, since he is very kind, he likely returned the 5 dollars he found. Therefore, he only has his original 5 dollars. After buying 3 biscuits for 1 dollar each, he spends 3 dollars, leaving him with 2 dollars.

2$

The begger is very kind, so he saw the 5$ bill and probably returned it to whomever dropped it.
