Kara bought a bag of jelly beans. As she was walking home, she noticed a hole in the bottom of the bag and that only a handful of jelly beans were left. She could not remember how many jelly beans she had started with, but she knew that it was fewer than 100. If she had counted by twos, threes, or fours, one would have been left over, but none would have been left over if she had counted by fives. How many jelly beans could Kara have started with?
