Teachers and students at a school are solving problems. There are twice as many students as teachers, and each student solves 3 more problems than each teacher. If teachers solve 24 of the 90 total problems solved, how many problems does each teacher solve?
(A) 3
(B) 4
(C) 5
(D) 6
(E) 8
Problems solved by Teachers
=24So, Problems solved by Students =
90−24=66Let the number of Teachers be
T and Students be
SWe are given that
S=2TT have solved
(3)(8)2T have solved
(2)(3)(11)We can see that Number of Teachers are
3 and students are
6So,
3 teachers have solved
8 questions each!
Hence, option E
