Question 6: E


Solutions

Question 6
Step 1: Interpret the problem's given conditions. The problem states that neither Joe nor Bo possess as much money as Flo indicating that Flo doesn't have the least amount of money. Eliminate Flo as an option.

Step 2: The problem statement provides information that both Bo and Coe have more money than Moe. This directly suggests that Bo and Coe do not have the least amount of money. Eliminate Bo and Coe as options.

Step 3: The next condition from the problem states that Joe has more money than Moe, but less than Bo. Given this, it clearly shows that Joe is not the person with the least money. Eliminate Joe as an option.

Step 4: After eliminating Flo, Bo, Coe, and Joe based on the conditions given, the only person remaining is Moe. Hence, Moe is the person with the least amount of money.

So, the answer is \(\boxed{\text{(E)}}\).
