Correct answer: A. 12
- A. 12
- B. 15
- C. 240
- D. 340
Explanation
Choice A is correct. It's given that the result of increasing the quantity x by 400% is 60. This can be written as x+ (400/100)x = 60, which is equivalent to x + 4x = 60, or 5x = 60. Dividing each side of this equation by 5 yields x = 12. Therefore, the value of x is 12.
