Today's Question - Dick has adopted a school in the inner city. Each month he provides a certain amount of money to be divided among the students who make the honor roll. One of the students computed that if there were 5 less honor students next month, the remainder would each get $2 more. Instead there were 4 more students resulting in a $1 cut. How many students were on the honor roll and how much does Dick distribute each month?

Reveal Answer Answer - The number of students on the honor roll in the earlier month was 20. Thus if there were 5 less, each would get $2 more but there came 4 more resulting in a $1 cut. Those are the only numbers that yield the results. (20 x $6 = $120) (15 x $8 = $120) and (24 x $5 = $120) So we see that $120 per month comes from Dick.
