To solve for \( x \) in the equation \( 53x = 25 \), follow these steps:
- Divide both sides by 53:
\[ x = \frac{25}{53} \]
- Now, perform the division:
\[ x \approx 0.4717 \]
Since none of the provided responses (25, 15, 41.67, 75) match this answer, let's compare \( \frac{25}{53} \) to see if it corresponds to any of the available options when converting to a percentage or decimal form.
Calculating \( \frac{25}{53} \) more precisely:
\[ \frac{25}{53} \approx 0.4717 \text{ or about } 47.17% \]
This calculation again indicates that the correct answer is not listed in the responses provided.
If you meant to check whether it rounds to any approximated numbers such as 41.67 or 15, neither would fit as the answer.
Therefore, the solution is:
\[ x \approx 0.4717 \]
None of the choices provided is correct.
