Answer is C) 11D + C
A/D = 11 + C/D
multiply D on both sides,
A = 11D + C
A/D = 11 + C/D
multiply D on both sides,
A = 11D + C

There's a nice rule that says, "If N divided by D equals Q with remainder R, then N = DQ + R"
For example, since 17 divided by 5 equals 3 with remainder 2, then we can write 17 = (5)(3) + 2
Likewise, since 53 divided by 10 equals 5 with remainder 3, then we can write 53 = (10)(5) + 3
So, in this case, since A divided by D gives a quotient of 11 and a remainder of C, we can write: A = 11D + C
Answer: C
