Which of the following numbers is greater than three fourths of the numbers but less than one fourth of the numbers in the list above?
A) 56
B) 68
C) 69
D) 71
E) 73
Arrange the values in ascending order: 13, 22, 31, 38, 47, 69, 73, 82
There are 8 numbers in total.
3/4 of 8 = 6
1/4 of 8 = 2
So we're looking for a number that's greater than 6 of the numbers but less than 2 of the numbers
In other words, we want a number that's greater than 69 but less than 73 like so: 13, 22, 31, 38, 47, 69,| number | 73, 82
71 is one such number.
Answer: D
