If 75% ofo 68 is the same as 85% of n, what is the value of n?

Correct answer: A. 60

  • A. 60
  • B. 65
  • C. 70
  • D. 30

Explanation

To solve the problem, first understand the statement '75% of 68 is the same as 85% of n'. This translates to the equation 0.75 × 68 = 0.85 × n. Converting percentages to decimals, the equation becomes:0.75 × 68 = 0.85 × nCalculate 0.75 × 68 which equals 51. Now the equation is 0.85 × n = 51. Divide both sides by 0.85 to isolate n:n = 51 / 0.85 = 60Thus, n = 60 is the correct answer. The other options (65, 70, and 30) do not satisfy the equation when substituted for n.
