Pay slips tend to have many items listed on them. Typically all would have the company's name, the employees name as well as their identification code, and their pay total after having tax deductions removed.
A snail is at the bottom of a well 30 feet deep it crawls up 3 feet each day but at night it slips down 2 feet how long does it take for the snail to creep out of the well?
Answer in my opinion 29 days. At the beginning of the 28th day the snail is 27 feet up. The snail crawls up 3 feet and is now at the top of the well but not out. At the beginning of the 29th day, the nail is 28 feet up. He now crawls up 3 feet and is out. This is some question about the interpretation of the problem. At the end of the 28th day, the snail is at top and would crawl out, I think.
