1. 8 is added to x. The sum is multiplied by 3. The product is devided by 2. Then 7 is subtracted from the quotient. The remainder is 50. Therefore x is--

  • A. 35
  • B. 35
  • C. 35
  • D. 35

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

First, x+8

Second, 3(x+8)

Third, 3(x+8)/2

Fourth,  3(x+8)/2 - 7= 50

=> 3(x+8)/2 = 57

=> 3(x+8) =114

=> x+8 = 38

=> x = 30
