When positive integer x is divided by positive integer y, the remainder is 9

When positive integer x is divided by positive integer y, the remainder is 9. If x/y=96.12, what is the value of y?

(a) 96
(b) 75
(c) 48
(d) 25
(e) 12




In this case, we can start by back solving. x/y=96.12 = 96 12/100
Let remainder = r
r/y = 12/100, here r = 9, then 9/y = 12/100 implies y = 9/0.12 = 75
The correct answer is (B).
