Question 60

25%

To find the percentage of 17 out of 68, divide 17 by 68 and then multiply by 100. This calculation results in approximately 25%, which is the correct answer when rounded to the nearest whole number.

A) 17%

Option A is incorrect because 17% represents the fraction 17/100, which does not accurately reflect the ratio of 17 to 68. The percentage calculated from the actual division is higher than 17%.

B) 25%

Option B is correct as it accurately represents the percentage calculation of 17 out of 68. When performing the division (17 ÷ 68) and multiplying by 100, the result is indeed 25%.

C) 32%

Option C is incorrect because 32% implies a higher ratio than what is represented by 17 out of 68. The calculation shows that 17 is a smaller proportion of 68, leading to a lower percentage.

D) 68%

Option D is incorrect as it suggests that 17 is equivalent to 68% of 68. This is not the case; rather, 68% would mean that 17 is more than half of 68, which is inaccurate based on the calculation.

Conclusion

The correct answer is 25% because it accurately reflects the proportion of 17 in relation to 68 when calculated correctly. All other options either underestimate or overestimate this ratio, failing to represent the accurate percentage. Thus, Option B stands as the definitive correct choice.
