Answer:

85-25

Step-by-step explanation:

85:2=42 left1

85:3=28 left 1

85:4=21left1

85:5=17 left 0

25:2=12 left 1

25:3=8 left 1

25:4=6 left 1

25:5=5 left 0

Answer:

25 ,55 85

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to have 0 left making 5 groups,the number should end on 0  or 5

But in order to have 1 left in gruups of 2 and 4  it should be odd number so the number must end in 5

But the the two numbers after subracting 1 must add a multiple of 3

15-1=14 1+4=5 (no multiple of 3)

25-1 = 24    2+4=6   (yes)

35-1=34        3+4=7(no)

45-1=44   4+4=8(no)

55-1 = 45     4+5 =9 (yes)

65-1=64      6 +4 =10(no)

75-1=74   7+4=11 (no)

85-1=84    8+4 = 12  (yes)

95-1=94      9+4=13 (no)
