There are two types of cabins-small ones that can house 6 girls and large ones that can house 10 girls. Last summer even though 344 girls had registered for the camp, only 342 could come.

  • The answer is (c) 20

    The reason behind this is that you should minus the total number of cabins from each choice.

    so (a) 12, 48-12=36. now 12*6 is 72 girls. 36 cabins are lefts. half of them are largeand the other,small

    18*10 is 180 and 18*6 is 108. so, 108+72+180= 360 which is not equalt to 344.

    continue until you reach answer (c) 120+84+140= 344. Thus this is the answer
