When the positive integer p is divided by 9, the remainder is 5. What is the remainder when 3p is divided by 9?  Choose the correct choice from the following options
A) 0	B) 1	C) 3	D) 4	E) 6
Lets take the number as p   when p is divided by 9 the remainder is 5 hence p can be written as   p=9k +5   Multiplying by 3 will give   3p = 27k + 15   we can also write   3p = 27k + 9 + 6   Now 27k and 9 are divisible by 9 leaving the remainder as 6 hence 6 is the answer.
