Question

2288.1 $÷$ 78.9 = P. What is the value of P - 12.33?

• A. 16.67
• B. 16.77
• C. 17.67
• D. 17.77

Answer 1

The correct option is A 16.67

Division of the 2 decimal will give us:

$P=\frac{2288.1}{78.9}=\frac{22881\times 10}{789\times 10}$

$P=\frac{22881}{789}=29$

$P-12.33=29-12.33$
$=16.67$
