I have a question about the following problem
When N is divided by T, the quotient is S and the remainder is V. Which of the following expressions is equal to N?
A) ST
B) S + V
C) ST + V
D) T(S+V)
E) T(S - V)
I am interested in your approach to this problem. Here is how I solved it:
I used long division and plugged in the numbers
9/2 gives you a remainder of 1 and a quotient of 4. Therefore N = 9; T = 2; V = 1; and S = 4 [I kept a track of the numbers just like that, by equating the variables to their corresponding values]. Then, I just plugged in the values into the answer choices to get the right answer.
I am curious to know if anyone else has another approach.
