Accepted Answer

To find 25% of 814.8, we divide it by 4. Doing so gives us 203.7, which is the answer choice A. Options B, C, and D do not make sense as they are not divided by 4.

Question 12

$33 \frac { 1 } { 3 } \%$   of what number is 69 ?

Accepted Answer

We can start by converting the percentage to a fraction:

$$33 \frac{1}{3}\% = \frac{33 \frac{1}{3}}{100} = \frac{100}{3}\div 100 = \frac{1}{3}$$

Let x be the number we are looking for. We can set up the equation:

$$\frac{1}{3} 	imes x = 69$$

Multiplying both sides by 3:

$$x = 69 	imes 3 = 207$$

Therefore, the best choice is D, 207.
