6 college friends go on vacation together during spring break. Their rental house costs $1250. If each friend pays the same amount and no one has bills smaller than $1, how much money do they pay for the rental? Choose the correct option:
A) $1250
B) $1251
C) $1252
D) $1253
E) $1254
In order to divide the sum in 6 parts, the amount must be divisible by 6.   Divisibility rule of 6: A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by both 2 and 3   Divisibility rule of 3: A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of the digits is divisible by 3   We need to make this number even in order for it to be divisible by 2.   Sum of digits of 1250 = 8 and 12 is divisible by both 3 and yields an even number.   Hence, we need to add 4 to this number for it to be divisible by 6   Correct Option: $1254
