the total number of plums that grew during each year on a certain plum tree was equal to the number of plums that grew during the previous year , less the age of the tree in years ( rounded to the nearest lower integer . ) during its 3 rd year , this plum tree grew 50 plums . how many plums did it grow during its 6 th year ?
the answer shud be 38 . ( 50 - 3 - 4 - 5 = 38 ) yes , if you go the 50 - 3 way , then it will be 38 . if instead you go the 50 - 4 way ( which they have suggested ) , the answer will be 35 . as i said , there is ambiguity here . answer is c
subtract(subtract(subtract(50, const_4), add(const_4, const_1)), 6)
