First translate the question into an equation.
"What percent" means x/100, "of 40" means times 40, "is 14" equals 14.
So we have (x)(40) = 14 or 40x = 14.
Dividing both sides by 40, we find that x = 0.35.
Now, we want to write our answer as a percent.
So we move the decimal 2 places to the right and we have 35%.
1 man earns 810 / 12 = $67.5 in 10 days
by proportion 1 man will earn 0.8 * 67.5 = $54 in 8 days
So 14 men will earn 54 * 14 = $756 in 8 days.
You'll want to make a common denominator with 6 and 8.
That denominator would be 24.
24/6=4 so you would have to multiply 5/6 by 4/4 to get 20/24.
Next, 24/8=3 so 1/8 could be multiplied by 3/3 to get 3/24.
Since 3 is less than 20, 1/8 is smaller than 5/6.
If you want the same numerator, 5/8 = 15/24. This would make 5/8 smaller than 5/6 as well.
The highest eighth you can go is 6/8 which is 18/24.
So you can use any numerator between 1 and 6 with a denominator of 8 to get a fraction smaller than 5/6.
You could solve this mathematically but i mean you could use your eyes.... Its most likely C

A set of data has a normal distribution with a mean of 5.1 and a standard deviation of 0.9. Find the percent of data between 4.2 and 5.1.
Answer: The correct option is B) about 34%
Proof:
We have to find 
To find , we need to use z score formula:
When x = 4.2, we have:
When x = 5.1, we have:
Therefore, we have to find 
Using the standard normal table, we have:
= 
or 34.13%
= 34% approximately
Therefore, the percent of data between 4.2 and 5.1 is about 34%
