I bought a box of candyfor myself last week. However, by the time I got home I had eaten1/4 of the candies. As I was putting the groceries away, I ate 1/2of what was left. There are now 6 chocolates left in then box. Howmany chocolates were in the box to being with? Solution 1/2 of what is equal to 6? answer 12. next, 1/4 of what is 12 will give the final answer. this is the same as: 1/4 of 16 = 12, so the answer is 16. All of that is the same as: 2*6*4/3 = x (the 4/3 is the opposite of taking 1/4, since i\'mworking backwards..) x=16 .

I had heard that, at the start of the Great Depression, JP Morgan and other bankers attempted to prevent the depression by purchasing some of the overpriced stock. Did the actions of JP Morgan and the other bankers have any effect on the US economy at the time? Were the effects of the Great Depression mitigated by their actions? Solution Not really. While it\'s possible that the Morgan intervention softened the initial stock market decline, the vast majority of the ultimate collapse in securities prices, commodity prices, industrial production, and the banking sector took place after the purchases had been liquidated. First some history: the bankers\' pool intended to lift the stock market was assembled at the J.P. Morgan & Co. offices on October 24, 1929, \"Black Thursday\", the initial day of market chaos. They pooled their resources and directed broker Richard Whitney to place high bids on blue chip stocks at the NYSE to lift the confidence of the markets. This stemmed the crash on Thursday and led to a rally that continued the next two days. Indeed, the following Sunday\'s New York Times lauded the \"carefully arranged\" plan to boost the market, and mentioned that the inclusion of the First National Bank in the buyers\' pool the next day confirmed to Wall Street that \"the danger of panic had been averted\". Some history of these events is provided in the Wikipedia article on the crash. Alas, the Monday and Tuesday immediately following this confident appraisal - October 28 and 29, 1929 - are known as Black Monday and Tuesday, respectively. They experienced the second and fourth largest daily percentage DJIA declines in history, combining for easily the largest two-day percentage decline in history. Most newspapers at the time described the bankers\' pool as waiting to intervene until late Tuesday, when they cut margin requirements and placed buying orders (see AP article). An AP article describing the crash on Monday opened with \"powerful financial interests stepped aside today and let the stock market drop...\". Finally, on Wednesday the bankers\' pool entered with strong buying orders, leading to the third highest daily percentage DJIA increase in history. The next day the pool apparently stepped away from the markets once more. It kept going like this for a little while, with some more volatility in markets over the next few weeks but eventual stabilization and partial recovery. Finally, the banking group quietly wrapped up its activities in February 1930, with press accounts mentioning that it \"come out about even\". Given all this, it\'s possible that the bankers\' pool offered some initial stabilization of the markets. (Although even that\'s not clear: from press accounts, it seems just as likely that volatility was increased by the erratic day-to-day decisions of the pool.) But again, any significant effect seems unlikely, because the vast majority of the carnage in the Great Depression took place after the pool had been liquid.
