You're right but we are asked that which of the following
COULD be the number.
So more than 1 may correct.
Hence we need to take the limit
7.5≤x<8.5Hope that clears your doubt. Feel free to ask if unclear.

4,400 participants in a study were surveyed regarding side effects of a new medication, and x percent reported experiencing drowsiness. If x is rounded to the nearest integer, the result is 8. Which of the following could be the number of survey participants who reported experiencing drowsiness?
Indicate all such values.A. 325
B. 330
C. 352
D. 375
The equation will be
7.5≤x<8.5...
So, the number, say n, will lie in the range
4400∗8.5>n≥7.5∗4400, that is
374>n≥330so B and C
A quick doubt- if x was, in fact, 8, there would have been no need to round it to the nearest integer, which the question specifically says has happened.
8% gives 352 as the answer, so I didn't select it given the above reasoning.
Could you please explain? Thank you.
