    Question House Points

    Can anyone help with this problem? I really don't understand and the teacher's on sick leave, so I really need help.

    Year 10 Maths teacher Mr Stan Deliver has his class practising mental arithmetic. He gets each student to choose a set of consectutive numbers, none of which end in zero. The student is to add these numbers and then divide the total by the last digit of each number. For each whole number answer the student earns one house point.

    a) Belinda chooses five consectutive numbers and wins five house points. What is the smallest total she could have had? Explain.

    By the way, I would prefer it if you could include working out and explain how you got your answers because I'd prefer to understand the problem rather than just have the answer. Thankyou
