Sekou writes the numbers $15, 16, 17, 18, 19.$ After he erases one of his numbers, the sum of the remaining four numbers is a multiple of $4.$ Which number did he erase?

A)15 B)16 C)17 D)18 E)19

Solution 1

First, we sum the $5$ numbers to get $85$. The number subtracted therefore must be 1 more than a multiple of 4. Thus, the answer is 17. ~Gavin_Deng
