If 22,1/3% of a number n is 938, then n must be?

Rationale

The number n must be 4,200.

This can be determined by taking the value given (938) and dividing it by the percentage (22,1/3%) expressed as a decimal (.221), which gives the total value of n.

A (281,400) YOUR ANSWER

This number is incorrect. To confirm, we can calculate 22,1/3% of 281,400 which is 62,533.33. This does not match the given value of 938.

B (42,000) YOUR ANSWER

This number is also incorrect. Calculating 22,1/3% of 42,000 gives us 9,333.33, which is greater than the provided value of 938.

C (4,960) YOUR ANSWER

This choice is not correct either. When we calculate 22,1/3% of 4,960, we get 1,103.33. Again, this does not match the given value of 938.

D (4,200) CORRECT

This is the correct answer. When we calculate 22,1/3% of 4,200, we get exactly 938, confirming that the total value of n is 4,200.

Conclusion

In this question, we are given a percentage (22,1/3%) of a number (n) and the result of that calculation (938). To find the original number (n), we need to divide the given result by the percentage expressed as a decimal. In this case, n equals 4,200, as it is the only choice that gives the correct value when 22,1/3% of it is calculated.

If 22,1/3% of a number n is 938, then n must be?

The number n must be 4,200.
