Francis Savage · Answer 1

(C) 147

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage of Twelfth Night = 17%

The company has performed Twelfth Night 25 times in the past five years

Let the total number of performance over the past five years=x

Therefore:

17% of x=25

0.17x=25

x=25/0.17

x=147.06

x=147 (to the nearest whole performance).

The company has performed a total of 147 performances.

The correct option is C
