technically speaking, C.
though it does get paradoxical in that if that's the right answer, then you do have a 25% chance.
...why am I doing math over a meme.
If two of the answers are the exact same, and would be evaluated the exact same, then you can consider there to only be 3 answers, making it a 33% chance you're correct on a random guess. However, since 33% isn't an answer, it's a 0% chance. Which, given that that is an option of the four, gives you a 25% chance, thus either of A or D are correct. You could loop it again to that thus meaning it's 33%, but it's a trick question and the only correct answer is to say 0% because at that point none of them are right.
This was goood bait m8
yeah, it triggered my math heavy education and made me think about it too hard.
For your heavy maths
that one doesn't quite work as paradoxical bait, just normal piss off bait
...what's sad is I actually know how to do stuff like that
it just takes a while to sit down and do it
Well
...The issue with that one is there's no equation combining...is it pie and cake? There's no equation that says the total price of both items.
So there's no one correct answer, it can be pretty much anywhere between two numbers.
If it were one cola instead of 2 in the second equation, it'd be $17.70. But because there's two of them, it's anywhere between (also including) $17.70 and $21.95.
No
17.70 would not be the min
What would be, then?
Are you implying that the cola was a 2 for 1 deal?
That would be the only way 17.70 is min
In the maximum, apples are free.
I'm getting 17.70 from cola being 0, thus we can just freely drop the 2 colas from the end equation, and we can verify that, if cola equals nothing, cake must equal 11.
And since 1 apple + 1 pie equals 6.70, we get 17.70 since the end equation 1 cake, 1 pie, and 1 apple.
Sheeeeit i trolled myself 🤦
As for the maximum, apples are free. Therefore, a single cola is 4.25, and cake is 6.75. Pie is 6.70.
the jew in me thought that nothing could be free
We can drop the apple from the end equation, which leaves us with 2 colas, a cake, and a pie. 1 cola + 1 cake equals 11, so we can shortcut that out. A pie is 6.70, so we're left with a single cola to add.
And since 1 cola equals 4.25, this means that 17.70 + 4.25 = 21.95
What if cola is -1 🤔
therefore, 17.70 =< x >= 21.95
That gets into complicated territory, but since it's the context of a store, we can assume that all prices are a positive variable, with 0 in this case being considered positive.
Since good luck finding a store that's gonna pay you to take stuff from them
If you do allow a price to be less than 0, however, then there's just no definition of what a correct answer is since it could at that point be literally anything.

Believe me when I say I fucking hate math, but I was made do a lot of it in school because I was good at it.
This is redundant beyond meme status but the furry fandom is genuinely not a fetish and the vast majority of content therein is sfw
If you can call zootopia SFW
