I'm curious about this problem and I'm wondering if I could get some help on it. Any help would be gladly appreciated!One night a guest at an inn couldn't sleep. He went down to the kitchen where he found a plate of cupcakes. He was hungry and ate 1/6 of the cupcakes. Later, his wife was hungry, couldn't sleep, so she went to the kitchen and ate 1/5 of the remaining cupcakes. At midnight the son ate 1/3 of the leftover cupcakes, and just after him, his sister ate 1/2 of what her brother had left, leaving only three cupcakes for the Inn owner's party the next day. How many cupcakes were originally on the plate?\r<BR>\n" );
