Aram’s car was fined when he gave Joe and Peter a ride, so they decided to help Aram pay the fine. Joe paid $3 more than 1/4 of the fine and Peter paid $3 less than 1/3 of the fine, leaving pay $4 less than 1/2 the fine to complete the payment. What fraction of the fine did Aram pay?  Select the correct option:	A) $13	B) $15	C) $20	D) $28	E) $48
As given Aram' payment is [1][/2]*Fine -4   i.e Total Fine = 2 * (Sam's payment + 4)   Now, as everything looks integer, Fine should be able to divide by 4 and 3 . Because Joe's contribution has 1/4 of the fine and Peter's contribution has 1/3 of the fine   So, that leads me to following :   Options , Aram's pay , Total Fine (F) , F/4 , F/3   A) , 13 , 34 , No i.e 34/4 , No i.e 34/3   B) , 14 , 38 , No , No   $20) , 20 , 48 , Yes Yes   ,   No need to further go on as we have got F/4 and F/3 correct, just for confirmation we go further   D) , 28 , 64 , Yes , No   E) , 48 , 104 , Yes , No   $20orrect answer is $20
