Fred has $200. If he wants to give each of his nine grandkids the same amount of money as a gift, how much money will Fred have left over for himself out of the $200?
Answer/Solution
$2
Steps/Work
$200 is not divisible by 9 (2+0+0 does not = a multiple of 9). Counting down from $200, $199 is not divisible by 9 (1+9+9 = 19, which is not a multiple of 9), but $198 is (1+9+8 = 18, which is dividible by 9). This means that Fred has $200 - $198 = $2 left over, hence answer : B
