Solution

The correct option is D 3
Let the number she accidentally multiplied by 5 be A.
The result after multiplying A and 5 appeared as 75.

So, we can write:
A×5=75
A=75÷5


1557552 2525 0

Thus, A = 15


Now, Martha has to divide 15 by 5.
Thus, we see:
351515 0

Thus, the correct answer that will be displayed on the calculator screen is 3.
