B. 6
If potential members received 5 times as many coupons as existing members, then the ratio of potential members to existing members coupons is 5:1.
Therefore, if we let x represent the number of coupons sent to existing members, then 5x is the number of coupons sent to potential members.
x + 5x = 234
6x = 234
x = 39
Therefore, the club sent 39 coupons to existing members.
