If 5,625 is divided by 55, what is the remainder?

A. 5
B. 10
C. 15
D. 25
E. 30

It's a simple division problem

5625/55 = Reminder - 15

55*100 = 5500
5625-5500 = 125
125-(55*2) = 15
Ans = C

#1

5625 = 55*100 + 125

Remainder will be same as when you divide 125 by 55 = 15

#2
5625/55 = 1125/11 after simplifying by 5
When you divide 1125 by 11 , you will get 3 as remainder

so the actual remainder when you divide 5625 by 55 = 3*5 = 15
We should multiply the remainder 3 by 5 to get the actual remainder, as we have simplified the numbers by dividing by 5 in the first step
Option C is the answer

Thanks,
