In a group of 2100 persons comprising players and their coaches, there is a coach for every fourteen players. How many coaches are there in the group?
A145
B120
C140 ✓ Correct
D150
Correct answer: (C) 140
Explanation
There are 140 coaches.
One coach per 14 players means a group of 14 + 1 = 15 people per coach.
Total people = 2100.
Number of coaches = 2100 / 15 = 140.
Players = 140 x 14 = 1960, and 1960 + 140 = 2100 checks out.
Method: divide the total by the group size 15.
