Problem
Danica wants to arrange her model cars in rows with exactly 6 cars in each row. She now has 23 model cars. What is the smallest number of additional cars she must buy in order to be able to arrange all her cars this way?
Solution
In order to have her model cars in perfect, complete rows of 6, Danica must have a number of cars that is a multiple of 6. The smallest multiple of 6 which is larger than 23 is 24, so she'll need to buy $\boxed{\textbf{(A)}\ 1$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg) more model car.
