Sherlock Holmes and the Chair Puzzle

In this puzzle, Sherlock Holmes went to buy a new rocking chair. He saw a suitable chair in the store and asked the first salesperson how much it cost. The first salesperson replied, "£600." Then, the second salesperson added, "My colleague multiplies all numbers by 3." The first salesperson then said, "And my colleague divides all numbers by 12." Sherlock Holmes wants to know the actual price of the chair.

To solve this puzzle, we need to follow the information provided by the salespeople. Let's break it down step by step:

1. The first salesperson said the chair costs £600. 2. The second salesperson claimed that their colleague multiplies all numbers by 3. 3. The first salesperson then said their colleague divides all numbers by 12.

To find the actual price of the chair, we need to reverse the operations performed by the salespeople. Let's start with the information provided by the second salesperson:

- The second salesperson claimed that their colleague multiplies all numbers by 3.

If we assume the price given by the first salesperson as "x," then the price after the second salesperson's operation would be 3x.

Next, let's consider the information provided by the first salesperson:

- The first salesperson said their colleague divides all numbers by 12.

If we take the price after the second salesperson's operation (3x) and divide it by 12, we get:

(3x) / 12 = x / 4

Therefore, the actual price of the chair is one-fourth of the price given by the first salesperson.

Now, let's calculate the actual price:

x / 4 = £600 / 4 = £150

The actual price of the chair is £150.
