What's your lucky number
Step 1:
Ask your friend to think of any lucky number (below 10)
Step 2:
Ask him to multiply with 10
Step 3:
Ask him to add 14
Step 4:
Ask him to subtract 8
Step 5:
Ask him to tell the result
Step 6:
Cancel the unit place 6 and reveal the answer
Secret
: Always you get 6 in the units place. The number before 6 is the lucky number.
Step 1:
Let the lucky number be 3
Step 2:
3 x 10 = 30
Step 3:
30 + 14 = 44
Step 4:
44 – 8 = 36
Step 5:
36
Step 6:
3
6
Hence the money in your friend’s lucky number is 3
Algebraic Explanation:
Let your friend's lucky number be X
X x 10 = 10X
10X + 14
10X + 14 - 8 = 10X + 6
10X + 6
10X +
6
= 10X
If you subtract 6, you get the lucky number.
