a beekeeper has 600000 bees living in 4 beehives . among these beehives , the sizes of the beehives are proportional to the numbers of bees living in them . no beehive has less than 80 % the number of bees of any other beehive . what is the maximum possible number of bees that the greatest beehive could have ?	Choose the most appropriate option:
A) 20,000
B) 176470
C) 10000
D) 13000
E) 56600

Rationale: x be the # of bees in the hive with the max # of bees . let other hives have same # of bees . so , x + 3 * ( 0.8 ) * x = 600,000 = > 3.4 x = 600,000 = > x = 176470 . b is the answer .
Answer: B
