Question 18

66 2/3% of 96 is 64

To find 66 2/3% of 96, we convert the percentage to a fraction, which is 2/3, and multiply it by 96. This calculation results in 64, confirming that option C is the correct answer.

A) 48

Option A is incorrect because calculating 66 2/3% of 96 does not yield 48. In fact, 48 represents 50% of 96, which is significantly lower than the required percentage.

B) 48 2/3

Option B is also incorrect. The value of 48 2/3 does not correspond to 66 2/3% of 96. This result is not supported by the necessary calculation, which leads to a higher value than this option.

C) 64

Option C is correct because when you calculate 66 2/3% (or 2/3) of 96, it equals 64. This is verified by performing the multiplication: (2/3) * 96 = 64.

D) 64 2/3

Option D is incorrect as it exceeds the value of 66 2/3% of 96. This option suggests a result that is greater than what the calculation produces, indicating a misunderstanding of percentage calculation.

Conclusion

The correct answer is 64, as it accurately represents 66 2/3% of 96 based on the calculation. All other options fail to reflect this percentage correctly, either significantly underestimating or overestimating the outcome. Thus, C is definitively the right choice.
