Question 61

27 minus 3.54 equals 23.46.

To find the result of 27 minus 3.54, the correct calculation leads to 23.46.

A) 24.46

Option A is incorrect because subtracting 3.54 from 27 gives a result less than 24.46. The calculation shows that 27 - 3.54 equals 23.46, which is significantly lower than 24.46.

B) 23.46

This option is correct as it accurately represents the result of the operation. When 3.54 is subtracted from 27, the calculation yields exactly 23.46.

C) 33.3

Option C is incorrect because it does not reflect a valid result of the subtraction operation. Adding 3.54 to 27 gives a sum of 30.54, which is unrelated to the subtraction problem posed.

D) 24.54

Option D is also incorrect because it suggests a result that is too high. The value of 24.54 does not match the outcome of the subtraction, which is confirmed to be 23.46.

Conclusion

The correct answer, 23.46, is confirmed through accurate calculation of the subtraction operation. Other options either present results that are too high or unrelated to the question, demonstrating a clear understanding of basic arithmetic is necessary to arrive at the correct answer.
