There are one hundred people standing in a circle. They count off beginning at one and ending at one hundred. Since they are in a circle, ONE is next to TWO and ONE HUNDRED. ONE has a sword and kills TWO. He passes the sword to THREE who kills FOUR. And so forth. NINETY-NINE kills ONE HUNDRED and passes the sword to ONE. Then ONE kills THREE and passes the sword to FIVE. This goes on until only one person is left standing. Which number is he?

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116

i think the answer is b

it is 10.6 according to my calculations
