Question
If you divide an inheritance of $45,600.00 among 22 heirs, each heir will receive?
my answer was 20702.72.
But there are 2 multiple choice questions seem tricky.
C.2073.72
D.2072.73
AND THE QUESTION DOES NOT ASK ME TO ROUND

Answer
45600/22 = 2072.727272727

since you are dealing with money, you have to round to the nearest cent.

ANS : D.) $2072.73

You may have accidentally divided like this

456000/22 or 45600/2.2, this would result in your answer.

if you take your answer and mutliply by 22 you get 455459.84
