Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To solve for rate, we need to divide the part (4.1 cases) by the whole (15.0 cases) and multiply by 100 to get a percent. So the calculation is (4.1/15.0) x 100 = 27.33333... Rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent, the answer is 27.3, which corresponds to choice B. To solve for rate, we need to set up the equation:

4.1 cases = x% of 15.0 cases

We can start by dividing both sides by 15.0:

4.1/15.0 = x/100

Simplifying this equation by cross-multiplying, we get:

x = 4.1/15.0 x 100

x = 27.3

Therefore, the rate is 27.3%. The closest answer choice is B.
