Jane earned enough money by selling seashells at 25 cents each to buy several used paperback books at 55 cents each. If he spent all of the money he earned selling seashells to buy the books, what is the least number of seashells he could have sold ? Choose the correct choice
A) 5  B) 10  C) 17  D) 22  E) 30
Let's TEST Answer A: 5 seashells...   With 5 seashells, Jamie would have 5(25) = 125 cents. This would allow him to buy 2 books for 110 cents total, but he would then have 15 cents left over. We're told that he spent ALL of his money on books, so this cannot be the correct answer.   Answer D: 22 seashells....   With 22 seashells, Jamie would have 22(25) = 550 cents. This would allow him to buy 10 books for 550 cents total, with no money left over. This is an exact MATCH for what we were told, so this MUST be the answer.   22
