A local supermarket has a crazy offer: whatever you spend, you get a voucher for the same amount (e.g you spend a 100 dollars on groceries and get a 100 dollar voucher in exchange) Is this a 100% discount or a 50% discount? TC: 100 Walmart credits (after spending $100)
What is the answer 🤔 😕
It’s a 100% if you spend a check of 100$ and get a check of 100$ in return.
But it's not a check. Coupon to spend in same store. And you don't get extra 100 if you spend the coupon
You don’t get a check. You get a voucher to spend only at the store again. Essentially you can buy $200 worth of goods for $100. 50%
That’s how Zuck did the math and drove Meta stock into the ground.
You got 100 points from a local supermarket that might go bankrupt
Hahaha laughing at people saying 100%
You can achieve your goal of getting something for free by buying and selling products in arbitrary discount price, it’s called profit.
If the answer is actually 50%, please DM me if you have a referral for McDonald's (either fry cook or cashier is fine)
So you loved skipping facts you needed a poll, my examples weren’t good enough for you…
Here’s a math question: what’s your TC in US dollars?
The only question that matters in this post
Amazing question... today is the birthday of Srinivasa Ramanujan...the Mathematician, he may know the answer...in his note books
The problem is ambiguous. It says "whatever you spend". If I spend $100 voucher, does that give me another $100 voucher? If yes, discount approaches 100%, asymptotically, but will never be 100%. If you choose not to use the voucher, or just use it partially each time, then it can vary between 0% a d that asymptotic value. It's a differential equation. If no, discount is anywhere between 0% and 50%, depending on how much you choose to spend from the voucher. My reading to this is: whatever recruiter asked this question, they have no clue about how math works.
Yeah you don’t get a voucher by using the voucher. If that was the case it would indeed tend to 100% since with x amount you can get infinite back
Using voucher doesn’t qualify for “ spend a 100 dollars “ Voucher aren’t dollars

Being good at leetcode doesn’t equate to mathematical intelligence, let alone general intelligence.
Guess that is why you are at Amazon
And not at oracle.
