Number n is 25 less than 120 percent of itself. What is the value of n ?
Correct answer: A. 125
- A. 125
- B. 120
- C. 105
- D. 90
Explanation
Start by translating the sentence into an equation: n = 120% * n - 25 We can simplify 120% as 1.2: n = 1.2n - 25 Now we can solve for n: n - 1.2n = -25 -0.2n = -25 n = (-25) / (-0.2) n = 125 Therefore, the value of n is 125.
