HiBunuel ,
Could you please explain the concept needed to solve this problem? This would be of greathelp.
Thanks.
Well I am not him but just went through that problem.
There is a rule that you can apply with decimals and remainder question that the digits behind the decimal (in this case 0.32) equivalent "Remainder / Divisor"
In this case this would mean "32/100"
The tricky thing about this rule is that you can't determine with a hundert percent certainty what the actual combination of remainder and divisor is.
Think about it -> 8 / 25 = 0.32 as well which would be the same as a remainder of 32 and a divisor of 100.
In this question they only ask about the sum of the two digit remainders so we go from 8 / 25 up to all the way to 100 in steps of 8.
which means 16 , 24 , 32 ....96
\( (96+16)/2=56\)
