Find the number:
From which, 1 is subtracted;
Half amount is deducted from that;
2 is subtracted from the balance;
Half amount is deducted from that;
2 is subtracted again from it;
Half of the amount is deducted;
2 is subtracted again from it;
Again,when the half amount is deducted,
The remainder is 2.
Solve:----
There are 4 steps;We can calculate from end;
(4) After half amount is deducted,the remainder is 2.
So the previous number was 2+2=4;
This is, after 2 was subtracted;
So,the previous number is 4+2=6;
(3) As this is half of the amount,the full amount is 6x2=12
This is after 2 was subtracted;
So, the previous number is 12+2=14;
(2) As this is half of the amount,the full amount is 14x2=28
This is after 2 was subtracted;
So, the previous number is 28+2=30;
(1) As this is half of the amount,the full amount is 30x2=60
This is after 1 was subtracted;
So, the previous number is 60+1=61
That number is 61
