1 answer

To determine which value represents a percentage between 11% and 17%, we first need to convert the percentage range into decimal form:

  • 11% equals 0.11
  • 17% equals 0.17

Now let's evaluate the provided options:

A. 0.159 - This is 15.9%, which falls between 11% and 17%. B. 0.013 - This is 1.3%, which is below 11%. C. 11 / 1000 - This is 0.011, which is also below 11%. D. 6 / 100 - This is 0.06, which is below 11%.

Among these options, only A (0.159) represents a value that falls between 11% and 17%.

Example:

To illustrate: if you have a population of 1000 people and 159 of them prefer a certain product, the percentage of people preferring that product would be: \[ (159 / 1000) \times 100 = 15.9% \] This value (15.9%) is clearly between 11% and 17%.
