The following figures are showing lines connecting the beginning and the ending point within each given squares. The lines link the centers of the smaller squares within that they travel through. The numbers around represent the number of the smaller squares that the line passes through either horizontally or vertically.

square → 정사각형

given → 주어진, 설정된

within → 안쪽의

number of the smaller squares that the line passes through → 선이 지나가는 더 작은 정사각형의 개수

horizontally → 가로로

vertically → 세로로

4개의 정사각형을 지나가는 경우 그중 어떤 사각형을 지나가는지 생각하지 않아도 되겠죠?

P, who raises pigs, was surprised by seeing Q selling pigs at a market.

It was because while Q had bought 250 pigs for 100 gold coins from P several days before, on that particular day Q was selling the same pigs in his own way. He had divided them in half, into one group of fat ones and one of thin ones, selling two fat ones or three of the thin ones for 1 gold coin. And all the while Q was bragging to the customers that he was not making any profit out of his business since he was selling 5 pigs just for 2 gold coins.

Then did Q really make no profit from selling those pigs? Answer in yes or no.

〈Tip!〉

먼저 P와 Q의 관계를 파악해 봅시다.

Q was selling the same pigs in his own way → Q는 바로 그 돼지들을 자신의 방식으로 팔고 있었다.

on that particular day → 바로 그날

divide ∼ in half into one group of fat ones and one group of thin

ones → ∼을 살찐 무리와 살찌지 않은 무리로 반씩 나누다

all the while → 그러면서, 동시에

brag → 큰소리로 떠들며 자랑하다

make profit out of business → 장사로 이윤을 남기다

마리당 얼마에 사서 얼마에 팔고 있는지 알 수 있습니까?
