Question

A number divided by 42 has a quotient of 28 with a remainder of 4. What is the number?

O 1,064
o 1,172
O 1,176
O 1,180

Answer 1

D. 1,180

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Divisor = 42

Quotient = 28

Remainder = 4

A quotient of 28 simply means that a number divided by 42 would have a value that is equal to 28 without any remainder.

Let the unknown number be X

X = (42*28) + 4

X = 1176 + 4

X = 1180.

Method II

Y/42 = 28

Cross-multiplying, we have;

Y = 28 * 42

Y = 1176

Given that the remainder is 4

X = Y + 4

X = 1176 + 4

X = 1180.

Therefore, the number is 1180.
