Last year, 54 of a school's 60 teachers attended graduation. If the school has replaced 2 retired teachers in the past year,
what is the largest number of teachers who could attend this year's graduation that did not attend last year's?
A)2 B)4 C)6 D)8 E)14
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Since the problem asks about "the largest number of teachers", we can assume, that all 60 teacher will attend this year
graduation and that 2 retired teachers were among those 54, who attended last year.
Under this assumption, teachers who attend this year and did not attend last year are 6 teachers of the old staff
PLUS 2 new teachers; in all, 6+2 = 8 teachers.
ANSWER. The largest possible number of teachers who could attend this year's graduation
that did not attend last year is 8.
