Question

The total capacity of the park's fountain is 2477 litres. If each tank of water is 95 litres, then calculate the value of A and B.

• A. A = 27 ; B = 12
• B. A = 26 ; B = 7
• C. A = 27 ; B = 7
• D. A = 26 ; B = 12

Answer 1

The correct option is B A = 26 ; B = 7

Total capacity of the tank = 2477 litres.
Capacity of each tank = 95 litres.

To calculate number of tanks, we have to divide 2477 by 95.

Calculating $2477÷95$ by box method, we get:


So, the final quotient is $26$ and the remainder is $7$.

∴ The equation can be written as:


Comparing this to the given equation, we find:

$A=26$ and $B=7$
