A shopkeeper gives a full bottle of soft drink in return for five empty bottles. A guy has 77 empty bottles and he can use them to get full soft drink bottles.
How many filled bottles will he be able to collect?
Correct answer: D
Explanation
77 empty bottles = 15 full bottles + 2 empty bottles
15 full bottles will give him 15 empty bottles more.
15 + 2 = 17
17 empty bottles = 3 full bottles + 2 empty bottles
3 full bottles will give him 2 empty bottles more.
3 + 2 = 5
5 empty bottles = 1 filled bottle
15 + 3 + 1 = 19
Thus we will be able to get 19 full bottles of soft drink.
