Question 21

The result of subtracting 3.54 from 27 is 23.46.

When you subtract 3.54 from 27, the calculation yields 23.46, which is the correct answer.

A) 24.46

This option is incorrect because it suggests that the subtraction resulted in a higher value than the actual calculation. When subtracting 3.54 from 27, the result is significantly lower than 24.46.

B) 23.46

This is the correct answer. By performing the calculation 27 - 3.54, we arrive at 23.46, confirming that this option accurately reflects the result of the subtraction.

C) 33.3

This option is incorrect as it implies an increase rather than a subtraction. The result of subtracting 3.54 from 27 cannot exceed the original value of 27, making 33.3 an impossible outcome.

D) 24.54

This option is also incorrect because it miscalculates the difference. Subtracting 3.54 from 27 does not yield a result close to 24.54; rather, it results in 23.46.

Conclusion

The correct answer, 23.46, accurately reflects the arithmetic operation of subtracting 3.54 from 27. All other options either misrepresent the calculation or suggest results that do not align with basic subtraction principles. Thus, option B is definitively correct.
