C) 5
D) 8

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The missing digit in a money order identification number can often be determined by a checksum formula designed to prevent errors. A common method is the modulo 10 algorithm, where the sum of the digits, sometimes multiplied by weights, must be divisible by 10. Without the specific formula, we can't accurately calculate the missing digit. However, assuming a simple sum where the missing digit would make the total divisible by 10, adding the digits of 3323_336342 (excluding the missing digit) gives us 3+3+2+3+3+3+6+3+4+2 = 32. The missing digit that would make this sum a multiple of 10 is 8, because 32 + 8 = 40, which is divisible by 10.
