Three numbers exist where 5/7th of the first equals 48% of the second, and the second is 1/9th of the third. If the third is 1125, find 25% of the first.
Show answer Hide answer
Answer: D. 21
Explanation
By working backwards from the third number (1125), the second is 125, the first is 140, and 25% of the first is 35, which is not listed, making 'None of these' correct.
