Correct answer: A

Solution: Solve 1220.122 = 12.2 × x

  1. Isolate x: x = 1220.122 ÷ 12.2.

  2. Clear the decimal by multiplying numerator and denominator by 10: x = 12201.22 ÷ 122.

  3. Divide: 122 goes into 12201.22 exactly 100.01 times because 122 × 100 = 12200 and the remaining 1.22 gives 0.01.

  4. Therefore x = 100.01.

Check: 12.2 × 100.01 = 1220.122, which matches the original equation.
