. Someone went to buy onions and asked how much one catty of onions cost. The onion seller said, 1 yuan per catty. This is 100 catties. It cost 100 yuan. The onion buyer asked again if the white and green onions should be sold separately. The onion seller said, 7 white scallions and 3 green scallions. Everyone who bought the onions bought them. They weighed the white scallions at 50 jins and the green scallions at 50 jins. In the final calculation, 50*7 for green onions is equal to 35 yuan, and 50*3 for green onions is equal to 15 yuan, 35, and 15 is equal to 50 yuan. The onion buyer gave the onion seller 50 yuan and left, but the onion seller was puzzled. Why did the onion buyer buy the onions for 100 yuan when they obviously wanted to sell them for 100 yuan? Why do you think this is? Think carefully and leave the answer

Alright, originally green onions were 1 yuan per jin, so whether it's the white part or the green part, it's 1 yuan per jin. But after separating them, the white part is 0.7 yuan, and the green part is 0.3 yuan... it would be strange if it wasn't a loss.
This problem is very simple. In fact, it is about proving that the seller's pricing of the white part and green part of the scallions is wrong, which has led many people into a misunderstanding! Let's do the calculation. Suppose the white part accounts for 70% of the price and the green part accounts for 30%. If 100 jin is divided into two 50-jin portions, 70% of 100 yuan is 70 yuan, and 30% is 30 yuan. Allocated this way, 50 jin of white scallions would cost 70 yuan, so 1 jin of white scallions is 1.4 yuan, and 50 jin of green scallions would cost 30 yuan, so 1 jin of green scallions is 0.6 yuan. From this, we can calculate that the seller's pricing for the white and green parts of the scallions is set incorrectly. Don't listen to those who analyze it randomly. The problem fundamentally lies in the price design. Many people fail to see this and try to explain it. The process of solving this problem is basically proving that this pricing is wrong. Once you understand this point, the entire problem becomes clear.
Hey hey, OP, I explained it clearly in just a few sentences, but you wrote so much. You've really got a leadership style, haha. Please see the 13th floor.
