wen 18 will divide by 100 and multiply with 550 we will get 99 not 9900

Question:
DIRECTION: What should come in place of the question mark (?) in the following question?
? % of 280 + 18% of 550 = 143.8
Options:
A) 11
B) 18
C) 21
D) 16
E) None of these
Solution:
Ans: (d)

\(\cfrac{?}{100}\) × 280 + \(\cfrac{18}{100}\) × 550 = 143.8

⇒ 280 × ? + 9900 = 143.8 × 100 = 14380

⇒ 280 × ? = 14380 – 9900 = 4480  

⇒ ? = \(\cfrac{4480}{280}\) = 16.
