Farewell

After a long career, John C. Walden is retiring. If there are 25 associates who contribute equally to a parting gift for John in an amount that is an integer, what is the total value of the parting gift?

1)If four associates were fired for underperformance, the total value of the parting gift would have decreased by $200
2)The value of the parting gift is greater than $1,225 and less than $1,275

Let individual contribution be x, total contribution = 25x

1)If four associates were fired for underperformance, the total value of the parting gift would have decreased by $200

4x = 200; 25x = 25*50, Sufficient !

2)The value of the parting gift is greater than $1,225 and less than $1,275

1225<25x<1275 => 49<x<51 and x = integer => x =50 and 25x = 25*50 Sufficient !

Option D
