29. The correct answer is (E). To determine the maximum value of h, answer the

question: “9 is 15% of what number?” To find the answer, divide 9 by .15 (or 900 by 15).

The quotient is 60. (This is the maximum number of horses that competed.) Similarly, to

determine the minimum value of h, answer the question: “9 is 30% of what number?” To

find the answer, divide 9 by 0.3. The quotient is 30. (This is the minimum number of

horses that competed.) Including the greatest and least possible values of h (60 and 30),

there are 31 possible values of h.
