The difference of two numbers is 1465. On dividing the larger number by the smaller, we get 6 as quotient and the 15 as remainder. What is the smaller number ?  Pick one.
A) A)270 B) B)280 C) C)290 D) D)300 E) E)310
Let the smaller number be x. Then larger number = (x + 1465).   x + 1465 = 6x + 15   5x = 1450   x = 290   Smaller number = 290.   290)
