If 1/5 of the keyboards are not working out of a total of 3,000, how many keyboards are working:
A 600
B 1500
C 2000
D 2400
Correct Answer: 2400
Explanation:

  • To find the number of working keyboards, we need to subtract the number of non-working keyboards from the total.
  • Number of non-working keyboards = 1/5 x 3,000 = 600
  • Number of working keyboards = Total keyboards - Non-working keyboards

=3,000-600

= 2,400

  • The correct answer is: (D) 2400

The sum of three consecutive integers is 33. Find the smallest integer.
