Each digit in the two-digit number G is halved to form a new two-digit number H. Which of the following could be the sum of G and H	Select: A) 153 B) 159 C) 137 D) 121 E) 89
let the number be x, now x is halved =&gt; x/2..the question asks what is x?   x(number) + x/2 (half of that number) = something   =&gt; 3x/2 = something   =&gt; x = 2 (something) / 3   so the answer choice must be divisible by 3   eliminate C, E right away   check the rest   B satisfies   3x/ 2 = 159   =&gt; x = 106   Verify. 106 + 53 = 159   Answer is 159
