You can put this solution on YOUR website!
i don't think so.
\n" ); document.write( "the smallest amount she can put in each pocket adds up to 45.
\n" ); document.write( "this assumes that one of the pockets is left empty.
\n" ); document.write( "0 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 = 45.
\n" ); document.write( "she couldn't leave 2 pockets empty because then there would not be a different number of dollars in each pocket.
\n" ); document.write( "with only 44 dollars, two of the pockets would have to have the same amount.
\n" ); document.write( "just subtract 1 from any of the pockets except the one that has 0, and you get a total of 44 with two of the pockets having the same amount.
\n" ); document.write( "for example: 10 - 9 = 9 but there is already a pocket with 9.
\n" ); document.write( "5 - 1 = 4 but there is already a pocket with 4.
\n" ); document.write( "etc.....\r
