"Soylent Green is people!"

Algebra Level pending

1 animal can be processed into 100 wafers of Soylent Red or 25 wafers of Soylent Yellow, and one human can be processed into 10 wafers of Soylent Green.

How many living creatures are needed to make 1,000 of each kind of wafer?


The answer is 150.

To make Soylent Yellow

1000 ÷ 25 = 40 1000 ÷ 25 = 40 animals

To make Soylent Red

1000 ÷ 10 = 10 1000 ÷ 10 = 10 animals

To make Soylent Green

1000 ÷ 10 = 100 1000 ÷ 10 = 100 humans

In total, we need:

40 + 10 + 100 = 150 40 + 10 + 100 = \boxed {150} living creatures

To make 1,000 wafers of Soylent Red requires 1,000/100 = 10 animals.

To make 1,000 wafers of Soylent Yellow requires 1,000/25 = 40 animals.

To make 1,000 wafers of Soylent Green requires 1,000/10 = 100 humans.

10 + 40 + 100 = 150.
