You are given the numbers 777, 888 and 999. Using the numbers once and adding, subtracting, multiplying or dividing, how can you make 999?
(7 x 7 x 7) + (9 x 9 x 8) + ((9 – 8) x 8) = 999
If other operators were allowed, another solution would be 999 modulo (888 x 777). I’m sure there are more solutions.
(7 x 7 x 7) + (9 x 9 x 8) + ((9 – 8) x 8) = 999

Finley’s friends all chipped in to buy her a wedding gift. At first, ten friends agreed to contribute the same amount. Then two “friends” dropped out. The remaining eight had to add another dollar each to cover the cost of the gift. How much did the gift cost?
$40.
Let x be the amount the ten friends initially agreed to pay. We can then make the following equation:
10x = 8x + 8 Solving for x gives us $4, thus the gift cost 10 × $4, or $40.
$40.
