Charlie is selling three different types of chocolate boxes:

Question

 Price: $34

 Price: $30

 Price: $32

Life is like a box of chocolates and Valentine's day is coming up. Charlie plans to offer a special edition box containing six bars:

 How much should he charge for it?

The price is: 

Answer 1

1st equation: 2g +r +b = 34

2nd equation: g+2r +b = 30

3rd equation: 2g +2b = 32

same as g+b=32/2 = 16

g+b=16

2g +3r + b = how much for special edition 6 bars?

solve using substitution elmination or matrix algebra&row operations. following is substitution elimination method

more advanced is linear or matrix algebra

subtract 3rd equation from 1st

r-b =2

subtract 2nd equation from 1st

g-r=4

add to r-b=2

g-b=6, add to g+b=16

2g =22

g = 11

r=g-4 =11-4 =7

r=2+b = 2+7=9

green=11, red=9, blue=7

2g+3r+b = 2(11)+3(9)+7= 22+27+7 =$56= Charlie's price

for his special edition 6 bars Valentine's Day box

I may be partly color blind, but to me the bars appear to be green red and blue.

although males tend to sometimes have a color blindness that switches green and red. (don't try this with a traffic judge if you get a running a red light ticket. It doesn't work, even if you have an expert eye doctor specialist as your courtroom witness. I assure you. Plus even if you somehow won, inspite of traffic judges finding 99.9% of any driver guilty of anything, you risk losing your drivers license for eye defects. Life is not like a box of chocolates in traffic court. You know what's coming there, our kangeroo court. You will lose, unless you're the judge's relative or friend or you bribed the judge, show up on his list of campaign donors for his re-election campaign. Just basic judicial microecomics 101. this also explains why wives often pick out their spouses' clothes, as males can't avoid colors that clash.

footnote: how can we ever know if it's the "color blind" males who are really color blind, or if they see what's really there, and it's everyone else who is really color blind? file this under the philosophical question folder with if no one is there to hear it, did the tree falling in the forest make a sound?)
