Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 716

Application

If 66(2/3)% of 75% of 1/8th of a certain number is 179

We know that 66(2/3)% = 2/3 and 75% = 3/4

Let that number be x

So, 2/3 × 3/4 × 1/8 × x = 179

x = 179 × 16

Now, 33.33% of three-fourth of x = 1/3 × 3/4 × x = 1/4 × 179 × 16 = 716
