Question

9312 pints of paint is distributed equally among 96 artists as per the calculation shown below.


The value of B - A is ______

• A. 53
• B. 63
• C. 73
• D. 83

Answer 1

The correct option is D 83

Total amount of paint $=9312pints$

Total number of artists $=96$

Amount of paint each artist gets $=9312÷96$

Calculating $9312÷96$, we get:


Comparing this to the given calculation, we find:


Hence, the value of $A$ is $7$ and the value of $B$ is $90$.

∴ The value of $B-A$ will be
$=90-7=83$
