If s, t, and p are consecutive integers such that s > t > p and the sum of s, t, and p is a multiple of 10, which of the following could be the value of s?
Choose the correct answer:
A) 0 B) 1 C) 9 D) 10 E) 12
We're given a very specific set of restrictions in this prompt:   1) S, T and P are CONSECUTIVE INTEGERS   2) S &gt; T &gt; P   3) S+T+P = a multiple of 10   We're asked which of the 5 answer COULD be the value of S given these restrictions. Rather than staring at the screen or doing layered math, we canbrute forcethe answers until we find one that fits these restrictions..   Answer A: S = 0   In this case, the numbers would be 0, -1, and -2. The sum = -3 which is NOT a multiple of 10. Eliminate A.   Answer B: S = 1   In this case, the numbers would be 1, 0, and -1. The sum = 0 which IS a multiple of 10. B IS the answer.   Final Answer:   1
