Question 60

17 out of 68 as a percentage is 25%.

To find the percentage of 17 out of 68, you divide 17 by 68 and then multiply the result by 100. This calculation yields approximately 25%, which is the value rounded to the nearest whole number.

A) 17%

This option is incorrect because 17% would imply that 17 is only a small fraction of 68. The calculation shows that 17 is actually a larger portion when expressed as a percentage.

B) 25%

This is the correct answer as it accurately reflects the percentage calculation of 17 out of 68. When you perform the division (17 ÷ 68) and multiply by 100, the result is 25%.

C) 32%

This option is incorrect because it overestimates the proportion of 17 in relation to 68. The actual percentage is lower than 32%, as shown by the calculation.

D) 68%

This option is incorrect since it suggests that 17 constitutes the entirety of 68, which is not true. The percentage is significantly less than 68%, confirming that this option does not reflect the correct calculation.

Conclusion

The calculation of 17 out of 68 correctly results in 25%, making option B the definitive answer. The other options fail to represent the portion accurately, either by underestimating or overestimating the fraction of 17 in relation to 68. Thus, option B is the only accurate representation of the percentage asked in the question.
