Question 17

Approximately 11% of 72 is 8.

To find what percent 8 is of 72, we can use the formula (part/whole) × 100. In this case, (8/72) × 100 equals approximately 11.11%, which rounds to 11%.

A) 9%

Option A is incorrect because 9% of 72 would equal 6.48, which is less than 8. This does not represent the percentage of 8 in relation to 72.

B) 0.11%

Option B is incorrect as 0.11% of 72 is only 0.0792, which is far less than 8. This percentage does not accurately reflect the relationship between 8 and 72.

C) 0.01%

Option C is incorrect since 0.01% of 72 equals 0.0072, which is significantly lower than 8. This option does not provide a correct representation of the percentage.

D) 11%

Option D is correct because when calculating (8/72) × 100, we find that 8 is approximately 11.11% of 72, which rounds to 11%. This accurately describes the percentage in question.

Conclusion

The calculation shows that 8 is approximately 11% of 72, confirming that option D is the correct answer. The other options fail to provide an accurate percentage representation of 8 in relation to 72, making them incorrect.
