Question

9. Which of the following is true, when

rounded to the nearest whole percent?
A. 1 out of 6 = 16%
B. 3 out of 8 = 38%
C. 2 out of 7 = 27%
D. 4 out of 9 = 49%

Answer 1

Answer: B

Explanation:

When answering this question, you need to look at ALL the possible solutions, and try to calculate them. When you try option A, which is 1 out of 6, and find the percentage, you get 16.666666666667%, which rounds to 17%, NOT 16. When you try B, though, where you do 3 out of 8, you get 37.5, which usually rounds up to 38, which seems to be the correct answer for this question.
