Answer:

C: 8

Explanation:

To solve for this problem, we are subtracting 16.2-7.8. Even though these numbers have decimals attached to them, here is a simple rule to remember:

If the decimal is below 0.5 round Down

If the decimal is above 0.5, round Up

The work for this problem would be as follows:


16.2-7.8 = 8.4\\round\\16-8=8
