πŸ€–: User's query: "I have 40 apples, I gave 50% to my buddy and 6 out of the rest to my aunt. How many apps do I have left?"

It is a problem: "I have 40 apples, I gave 50% to my buddy and 6 out of the rest to my aunt. How many apples do I have left?" But notice the problem says "apps" but probably apples. It is a riddle maybe.

Let's parse: I have 40 apples. I gave 50% to my buddy. That means half of the apples. Wait: "I gave 50% to my buddy" means that I gave half of the apples (which is 20 apples) to my buddy. Then the rest: "6 out of the rest to my aunt." So "the rest" is now 40 - 20 = 20 apples. Out of these 20 apples, I gave 6 to my aunt. So I have left: 20 - 6 = 14 apples left.

Wait, but check: "50% to my buddy" means I give half of the apples. So the rest remains half of original apples. Then from that remainder, I gave 6 to my aunt. So answer: 14 apples r...

Wait, whats the problem here?
