Question 14

75

The calculation of 1,500 divided by the sum of 15 and 5 results in 75. This is obtained by first adding 15 and 5 to get 20, and then dividing 1,500 by 20.

A) 75

This option is correct because when you perform the calculation, 1,500 divided by 20 equals 75. It accurately reflects the solution to the equation 1,500 / (15 + 5).

B) 130

Option B is incorrect because dividing 1,500 by 20 does not yield 130. The result of this division is significantly lower, proving that this option does not match the correct calculation.

C) 315

This option is also incorrect. The result of dividing 1,500 by 20 cannot be 315, as this exceeds the value obtained from the correct calculation.

D) 400

Option D is incorrect as well. Dividing 1,500 by 20 does not yield 400; this result is much higher than the actual outcome of the division operation.

Conclusion

The correct answer is 75, as it accurately represents the result of the division of 1,500 by the sum of 15 and 5. All other options provide incorrect values that do not align with the mathematical operation being performed. Thus, 75 is definitively the right answer.
