Which of the following is not true about a computer byte?

A. A byte consists of 8 bits.
B. A byte can represent 256 different values.
C. A byte is the same as a kilobyte.
D. A byte is a fundamental unit of data in computing.



Answer :

Certainly! Let's address the problem directly without referring to any programming code.

First, let's identify the information provided by the problem:

1. We start with 23 units of currency (we'll call these "memory bits" as used in the problem statement).
2. The cost of one bagel is 3 units of currency.
3. We need to buy 5 bagels.

Now, let's find the total cost for the 5 bagels:

- Each bagel costs 3 units of currency.
- We want to buy 5 bagels.

To find the total cost, we multiply the cost per bagel by the number of bagels:

[tex]\[ \text{Total cost of bagels} = 3 \, \text{units} \times 5 \, \text{bagels} = 15 \, \text{units} \][/tex]

Now, we need to find out how much money we have left after purchasing the 5 bagels. We can do this by subtracting the total cost of the bagels from the initial amount of currency:

[tex]\[ \text{Money left} = 23 \, \text{units} - 15 \, \text{units} = 8 \, \text{units} \][/tex]

To summarize:
- The total cost of purchasing 5 bagels is 15 units of currency.
- After buying the bagels, you will be left with 8 units of currency.

Thus, the final answer for this question is:
- Total cost for 5 bagels: 15 units
- Remaining money: 8 units
