Thanks For The Gumball
  • Trevor notices a bag of gumballs that sell for $3.00 at a candy store. He wonders if this is a good deal for gumballs so he asks the clerk how many gumballs come in the bag. The clerk says,"

    Less than 100 come in the bag. Also, if you counted the gum by twos, threes, or fours, one gumball would be left over, but none if you counted by fives." If the bag contains greater than 30 gumballs, how many are in the bag?
