Answer:

G. 32

Step-by-step explanation:

32 x 335 = 10720

16,100 - 10720 = 5380/190 = 28.3157894737

275 x 32 = 8800

18,800 - 8800 = 10,000/400 = 25 (This is the closer).

30 x 335 = 10,050

16,100 - 10,050 = 6050/190 = 31.8421052632

30 x 275 = 8250

18,800 - 8250 = 10550/400 = 26.375 (Same reason why it does't work)

25 x 335 = 8375

16,100 - 8375 = 7725/190 = 40.6578947368

25 x 275 = 6875

18,800 - 6875 = 11925/400 = 29.8125

24 x 335 = 8040

16,100 - 8040 = 8060/190 = 42.4210526316

24 x 275 = 6600

18,800 - 6600 = 12200/400 = 30.5
