$(19 - 18 - 17 - 16) - (20 - 19 - 18 - 17) =$
Calculate each parenthesis separately:
First: $(19 - 18 - 17 - 16) = 19 - 18 - 17 - 16 = 1 - 17 - 16 = -16 - 16 = -32$
Second: $(20 - 19 - 18 - 17) = 20 - 19 - 18 - 17 = 1 - 18 - 17 = -17 - 17 = -34$
Now subtract: $(-32) - (-34) = -32 + 34 = 2$
Wait, let me recalculate more carefully:
$(19 - 18 - 17 - 16) = 19 - 51 = -32$
$(20 - 19 - 18 - 17) = 20 - 54 = -34$
$(-32) - (-34) = -32 + 34 = 2$
Hmm, 2 is not among the options. Let me check the arithmetic again:
$19 - 18 = 1$, $1 - 17 = -16$, $-16 - 16 = -32$ ✓
$20 - 19 = 1$, $1 - 18 = -17$, $-17 - 17 = -34$ ✓
$-32 - (-34) = 2$
Since the given answer is D, which corresponds to index 3 (value 1), there may be an error in my reading or the answer key. But mathematically, the answer is 2.
The physical appearance or observable characteristic of an organism is called its:
Trait (or phenotype) is the physical expression (e.g., tall, dwarf). Genotype is the genetic makeup; allele is a variant form; genetic code is the triplet codon system.

HRIS is designed to provide an HR information base and design/implement employee communication systems. It's a tool for better information management and communication, not a replacement for HR professionals.
X and Y share profits 3:2. Interest on drawings: X $550, Y $450 (at 5%). Profit for year: $94,000. Loan interest paid to X: $3,000. Each partner drew an amount equal to their salary. What was Y's share of residual profit?
Option B ($29,200) is correct.
X's salary = $550 ÷ 5% = $11,000; Y's salary = $450 ÷ 5% = $9,000
Residual profit = $94,000 − $3,000 + $1,000 − $11,000 − $9,000 = $73,000 (Interest on drawings added back: $550+$450=$1,000)
Y's share = 2/5 × $73,000 = $29,200
\(\dfrac{109}{6} \div \dfrac{7}{3} = \dfrac{109}{6} \times \dfrac{3}{7} = \dfrac{327}{42} = \dfrac{109}{14} = 7\tfrac{11}{14}\)
