D. 2543

Answer

To solve the expression \( 3034 - (1002 \div 20.04) \), we will follow the order of operations, often remembered by the acronym BODMAS (Brackets, Orders, Division and Multiplication, Addition and Subtraction).

### Step-by-step Solution:

1. **Identify the expression**:
\[ 3034 - (1002 \div 20.04) \]

2. **Solve the division inside the brackets**:
We need to calculate \( 1002 \div 20.04 \).
\[ 1002 \div 20.04 = 50 \]
(This can be verified by performing the division.)

3. **Substitute the result back into the expression**:
Now we replace \( (1002 \div 20.04) \) with \( 50 \):
\[ 3034 - 50 \]

4. **Perform the subtraction**:
Now we subtract \( 50 \) from \( 3034 \):
\[ 3034 - 50 = 2984 \]

5. **Final answer**:
The result of the expression \( 3034 - (1002 \div 20.04) \) is:
\[ \boxed{2984} \]
