Question

What is the result if 216 is increased by 93 and then decreased by 9?

• A. 309
• B. 301
• C. 310
• D. 300

Answer 1

The correct option is D

300

216 increased by 93,

$216\underset{–}{+93}\underset{–}{309}$

309 decreased by 9,

$309\underset{–}{-9}\underset{–}{300}$

Hence, 300 is the required answer.
