B. 700

E. 847

OA A

A few first multiples of 7 that are greater than 70 are 77, 84, 98, ...; we can write them as 7*11; 7*12: 7*13.

So, the first multiple of 7 that is greater than 70 = 7*11;
and the 100th multiple of 7 that is greater than 70 = 7*110

Thus, range = 7*110 - 7*11 = 7(110 - 11) = 7*99 = 693

The correct answer: A

Hope this helps!

The range of one hundred consecutive multiples of 7 will always be the same no matter what the smallest value in your list is, so we can just find the range of 7, 14, 21..., 693, 700, which is 700-7 =693.
