8 k 8 + k 88 - - - - - - - - 16 t 6 if k and t represent non - zero digits within the integers above , what is t ?  Choose the correct option:
A) 6  B) 7  C) 8  D) 9  E) 17

Rationale: 8 k 8 k 88 - - - - - - - - 16 t 6 trial and error or just plug - in method might be the shortest way to solve this problem . though you can narrow down the possible values of k to just two : 7 and 8 - - > 8 * * + 7 * * = 16 * * or 8 * * + 8 * * = 16 * * ( k can not be less than 7 or 9 , as the result wo n ' t be 16 * * ) . after that it ' s easy to get that k = 7 and t = 6 . answer : a .
Answer: A
