Question 57

The product of (99)(0.56) is 55.44.

Multiplying 99 by 0.56 results in 55.44, which is the correct answer.

A) 99.3

This option is incorrect because 99.3 does not reflect the product of multiplying 99 by 0.56. The multiplication yields a significantly lower value, as 0.56 is less than 1.

B) 99.56

This option is also incorrect. While it appears to combine the numbers involved, it does not represent the actual multiplication result of 99 and 0.56, which is much lower than 99.56.

C) 55.44

This option is correct because the product of 99 and 0.56 is indeed 55.44. This can be verified through direct multiplication: 99 multiplied by 0.56 equals 55.44.

D) 199.54

This option is incorrect as well. The value 199.54 exceeds the expected result of multiplying 99 by a fraction (0.56), which should provide a product less than 99.

Conclusion

The correct answer, 55.44, directly results from the multiplication of 99 and 0.56, making it the only valid choice among the options. All other choices either miscalculate or misrepresent the relationship between the numbers involved in the operation.
