Question 5

1 is 3 percent of 33,1/3

To find the number of which 1 is 3 percent, we can set up the equation where 1 equals 3 percent of the unknown number. This means that 1 is 0.03 times the number, leading us to conclude that the number is 33,1/3.

A) 01-Mar

This option is incorrect as it does not represent a numerical value that can satisfy the equation where 1 is 3 percent of a number. The format of “01-Mar” does not correspond to a numerical value that can be calculated mathematically.

B) 3

Choosing 3 as the answer would imply that 1 is 3 percent of 3, which can be calculated as 0.09. Since 0.09 does not equal 1, this option is incorrect.

C) 30

If we consider 30, 3 percent of 30 is calculated as 0.9. Since 0.9 is not equal to 1, this option does not satisfy the condition of the question, making it incorrect.

D) 33,1/3

This option is correct because if you calculate 3 percent of 33,1/3, you get 1. This is determined by the equation: 0.03 * (100/3) = 1, confirming that 1 is indeed 3 percent of 33,1/3.

Conclusion

The correct answer is D) 33,1/3, as it accurately satisfies the condition that 1 is 3 percent of this number. All other options fail to provide a valid number that meets the criteria set by the question. Thus, option D is definitively the only correct choice.
