Respuesta :

The answer is C. The n/100 is because percentages are out of 100. The 125/85 represents what percent of last year’s gift this year’s gift is.
D. 85/125 is 0.68 and that is 68%. I wouldn’t have set it up the way these choices are set up, but D is the only one where you’d get the right answer.
