Answer: B
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: We make the assumption that 152 is 100% since it is our output value.
Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with x
Step 3: From step 1, it follows that 100%=152
Step 4: In the same vein, x%=47.9
Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:
100%=152(1).
x%=47.9(2).
Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS
(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have
100%/x% = 152/47.9
x= 31.5
