A.​100%
B.​136%
C.55
D.75

Answer 1

The answer is 136%.

Explanation:

Although the fire marshal had declared the capacity of the classroom at 55​ students, the introduction to operations management class was so​ popular, the average attendance was 75​ students, literally standing room only.

Let the utilization of the operations management​ be x%

We get ;

`(x)/(100) *55=75`

=>
`55x=7500`

Dividing both sides by 55

x = 136.3% rounded to 136%.
