86 *2 = 172
172/3 = 57.33
54 + 56 +58 =168
168/2 =84
56 + 58 +60 = 174
174/2 =87
58 +60 +62 = 180
180/2 = 90
60 +62 +64 = 186
186/2 = 93
62 +64+66 = 192
192/2 = 96
there are 3 sets of numbers that fall between 84 & 96
1 set equals 84 and 1 set equals 96
so if you are counting those there are 5 sets
The answer is: [C]: "30%" .

Note that: "%" ; or "percent" means "out of 100" ; or "divided by 100" .

Method 1)
15/50 = ?/ 100 ;
Look at the denominators:
50 * (what value?) = 100 ? ; → "100 ÷ 50 = 2" ;
→ 50 * 2 = 100 ;
So: "15/50 = (15*2)/(50*2) = "30/100" ; which is "30%" .
___________________________________________
Method 2:
___________________________________________
"15/50" = (15÷5) / (50÷5) = 3/10 ;
3/10 = (3*10) / (10*10) = 30/100 ; which is: "30%" .
__________________________________________
Method 3: (slight variation of "Method 2" above):
___________________________________________
"15/50" = (15÷5) / (50÷5) = 3/10 ;
3/10 = 0.3 = 0.30 = (0.30 * 100) % = " 30% " .
