AMC 12 2016a Problem 3

  • Paper

The remainder can be defined for all real numbers xx and yy with y≠0y \neq 0 by rem(x,y)=x−y⌊xy⌋\text{rem} (x ,y)=x-y\left \lfloor \frac{x}{y} \right \rfloorwhere ⌊xy⌋\left \lfloor \tfrac{x}{y} \right \rfloor denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to xy\tfrac{x}{y}. What is the value of rem(38,−25)\text{rem} (\tfrac{3}{8}, -\tfrac{2}{5} )?

(A) −38(B) −140(C) 0(D) 38(E) 3140\textbf{(A) } -\frac{3}{8} \textbf{(B) } -\frac{1}{40} \textbf{(C) } 0 \textbf{(D) } \frac{3}{8} \textbf{(E) } \frac{31}{40}
