Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To solve for the rate, we can set up a proportion:

59.9 yards / 7 yards = x/100

Cross-multiply:

7 * x = 59.9 * 100

Simplify:

x = 5990 / 7

x ≈ 855.7

So the rate is approximately 855.7%. The best choice is (B). Let's set up the equation:

59.9 = x/100 * 7

Solving for x:

59.9/7 = x/100

x = (59.9/7)*100

x = 855.7

Therefore, the rate is 855.7%, which rounds to 855.7% to the nearest tenth of a percent. The answer is choice B, 855.7.
