To find the answer for this question is very easy, How?
Just add all the decimals and divide by 5 (23/5 = 4.6).
So find the answer which has last digit 6, it is none other than answer D (36.66).

As Sandip said 183.3 * 20. If we are calculating all the interest on loans we are not getting that value.

183.3÷5=36.63,when we divide the numerator by 5, double the numerator and move the decimal to left side.
