Fractions → Choose LCM

2/5 and 1/4

LCM = 20

Original 20 units

Find difference = 2 units

Actual difference:
2x + 20 = 62
x = 21

Original = 20 × 21 = 420
Current = 420 + 20 ( newly added people )
ANSWER = 440

Good move using a common multiple of 4 and 5! Frees you from using fractions as follows:


...........................bike................no bike
One year ago......2x......................3x
Now .............2x +3x/4 + 20.......(3/4)*3x

Our task is to find 5x+20

11x/4 + 20 = 9x/4 + 62
x/2 = 42
5x = 420
5x + 20 = 440

One year ago, \(\frac{2}{5}\) of the adults in Keaston had a bicycle. Since then, \(\frac14\) of the adults in Keaston who did not have a bicycle have acquired one, and the 20 adults who have moved into Keaston in the last last year all have bicycles. . Adults residing in Keaston who own bicycles now outnumber those who do not by 62. Assuming that no adults residing in Keaston one year ago have died or moved away, how many adult residents does Keaston have now?

(A) 140
(B) 160
(C) 400
(D) 420
(E) 440
