(A) 43 (B) 44 (C) 49 (D) 50 (E) 51 Obviously club could not have 50 or more members, since$12*50=$600>$599. What about 49? If 48 members contributes $12 ($12*48=$576) and 1 member contributed the remaining$23, then the club would have is 48+1=49.

Answer: C.

OR: $$12x\leq{599}$$ --> $$x\leq{49\frac{11}{12}}$$ --> $$x=49$$ (since x must be an integer).

Answer: C.

If each [#permalink] 30 May 2015, 04:41 Estimate, you don't need to divide here to get the answer: 12X<=600 --> X<=50, But we rounded up, so the real number must be <50 --> 49 (C) _________________ When you’re up, your friends know who you are.
