(a)1466.25
(b)1508.75
(c)1551.25
(d)1636.25
(e)None of these
Answer
Answer (as printed): C
Explanation
Let the number be $x$. Then, $42 \%$ of $x=892.50 \Rightarrow \frac{42 x}{100}=892.50$ $\Rightarrow x=\left(\frac{892.5 \times 100}{42}\right)=2125$. $\therefore 73 \%$ of $2125=\left(\frac{73}{100} \times 2125\right)=1551.25$.
