Question

A radio station is giving away a $100 bill to every 30th caller and movie tickets to every 40th caller. Which call will be the first to win both prizes

Answer 1

120th caller

Explanation:

According to the problem, calculation of the given data are as follows,

$100 bill = 30th caller

Movie tickets = 40th caller

So, to find out first to win both prizes, we will use LCM method,

LCM of 30 and 40 = 10 | 30 , 40

| 3 , 4

LCM of 30 and 40 = 10 × 3 × 4 = 120

Hence, 120th caller will be the first to win both prizes.
