he Charleston family has less than 500 Dalmatians. There are six times as many Dalmatians with black spots on their right ears as Dalmatians without these spots. After giving away 6% of their Dalmatians, how many do the Charlestons have left?

Question
Answer:
In order for there to be 6 times as many Dalmations of one coloration as of the other, the total must be a multiple of 7. In order to be able to give away an integer number that is 6% of the total, the total must be a multiple of 50. The least common multiple of 50 and 7 is 350.

94% of 350 is 329 . . . . . Dalmations remaining
