Question 4

0.27

To find 0.3 percent of 90, you multiply 90 by 0.003, which results in 0.27. This calculation demonstrates that the correct answer is indeed 0.27.

A) 0.027

Option A is incorrect because 0.027 represents 0.03 percent of 90, not 0.3 percent. The calculation for 0.03 percent of 90 would be 90 multiplied by 0.0003, leading to a significantly lower value than what is asked in the question.

B) 0.27

Option B is correct as it accurately reflects the calculation of 0.3 percent of 90. By performing the calculation, 90 multiplied by 0.003 equals 0.27, confirming this option as the right answer.

C) 0.3

Option C is incorrect because it represents 0.3 as a whole number, not as a percentage of 90. The value 0.3 does not correspond to the required calculation for 0.3 percent of 90, which should yield a lesser value.

D) 2.7

Option D is incorrect because 2.7 represents 3 percent of 90, not 0.3 percent. The calculation for 3 percent would be 90 multiplied by 0.03, which results in 2.7, deviating from the intended percentage.

Conclusion

Option B is definitively the correct answer as it accurately represents the calculation of 0.3 percent of 90, yielding a result of 0.27. All other options fail to provide the correct value, either by miscalculating the percentage or representing the wrong percentage altogether. Thus, B is the only option that meets the criteria set by the question.
