There is no reason whatever why Mr. Green's original deposit of $100 should equal the total of the amounts left after each withdrawal. It is just a coincidence that the total of the right-hand column comes as close as it does to $100. This is easily seen by making charts to show a different series of withdrawals. Here are two possibilities:
As you see, the total on the left must always be $100, but the total on the right can be made very small or very large. Assuming that withdrawals can never involve a fraction of a cent, try to determine the smallest possible total and the largest possible total that the right-hand column can have.

Use Cauchy's inequality for positive numbes a,b,c.
\(a+b\ge2\sqrt{ab},b+c\ge2\sqrt{bc},c+a\ge2\sqrt{ca}\)
\(\Rightarrow\left(a+b\right)\left(b+c\right)\left(c+a\right)\ge8\sqrt{ab}\cdot\sqrt{bc}\cdot\sqrt{ca}=8abc\)
\(\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{abc}{\left(a+b\right)\left(b+c\right)\left(c+a\right)}\le\dfrac{1}{8}\)
\(MaxA=\dfrac{1}{8}\Leftrightarrow a=b=c>0\)

Use Cauchy's inequality for positive numbes a,b,c.
a+b≥2ab−−√,b+c≥2bc−−√,c+a≥2ca−−√
⇒(a+b)(b+c)(c+a)≥8ab−−√⋅bc−−√⋅ca−−√=8abc
⇒A=abc(a+b)(b+c)(c+a)≤18
MaxA=18⇔a=b=c>0

A diference date only appears once/month (Only 1 subtraction is classified). So there will be: 1 difference date/month -> 12 difference date/ year -> 1200 difference date/ century.
So there will be 1200 difference date during the 21st century.

p = 4 + 22 + 23 + 24 + ... + 220
=> 2p = 8 + 23 + 24 +25 + ... + 221
=> 2p - p = (8 + 221) - (4 + 22)
=> p = 221
So, p can be written as a power of 2

4 + 22 + 23 + 24 + ... + 220
we have:
22 + 23 + 24 + ... + 220 have 220 - 22 + 1 = 199
And the number of even number are:
\(\left(\text{220 - 20}\right):2+1=102\) [even number]
So the number of odd are:
199 - 102 = 97 [odd]
Because the number of odd is a odd
=> Their sum are a odd
So 22 + 23 + ... + 220 is a odd
P is a odd
So P can't written as power of 2

Worst case is Peter take out 2 red balls, 2 white balls, 2 yellow balls, all blue ball and black ball.
So Peter taken:
2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 9 [balls]
Not three members of the same color, have to take 1 ball more
Number of balls to take are: 9 + 1 = 10 [balls]
Answer 10 balls

A=x2−xy+y2>x2−xy−xy+y2A=x2−xy+y2>x2−xy−xy+y2
⇒A>x2−2xy+y2⇒A>x2−2xy+y2
⇒A>(x−y)2⇒A>(x−y)2
But (x−y)2≥0(x−y)2≥0
⇔A≥0⇔A≥0
But A≠0⇒A>0

There are: \(9-1+1=9\left(numbers\right)\) from 100 to 199.
There are: \(9-2+1=8\left(numbers\right)\) from 200 to 299.
................................................................
There are: \(9-9+1=1\left(number\right)\) from 900 to 999.
So there are total is: \(9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1=45\left(numbers\right)\) satisfy the question.

there are:9-1+1=9(numbers)
there are :9-2 +1=8(numbers)
................................................
there are:9-9+1=1(number)
the number of number have 3 digits can disivible by 3 is:
9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1=45 (numbers)
answer:45 numbers
