Problem
The ages of Jonie's four cousins are distinct single-digit positive integers. Two of the cousins' ages multiplied together give 
, while the other two multiply to 
. What is the sum of the ages of Jonie's four cousins?
Solution
First look at the two cousins' ages that multiply to . Since the ages must be single-digit, the ages must either be 
or 
Next, look at the two cousins' ages that multiply to . Since the ages must be single-digit, the only ages that work are 
Remembering that all the ages must all be distinct, the only solution that works is when the ages are 
and 
.
We are required to find the sum of the ages, which is ![\[3 + 8 + 5 + 6 = \boxed{\textbf{(B)} ~22}.\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/0/8/a/08a7d7abac9e4a0a4564b8008acc3e1aded4f510.png)
