1. Problem Description

We are given that 84%84\% of NN is equal to 105%105\% of (N120)(N-120). We need to find what percentage of NN is equal to 192192.

2. Solution Steps

First, we can translate the given information into an equation:
0.84N=1.05(N120)0.84N = 1.05(N - 120)
Now, we solve for NN:
0.84N=1.05N1.05(120)0.84N = 1.05N - 1.05(120)
0.84N=1.05N1260.84N = 1.05N - 126
1.05N0.84N=1261.05N - 0.84N = 126
0.21N=1260.21N = 126
N=1260.21N = \frac{126}{0.21}
N=600N = 600
Now we want to find what percentage of NN is equal to

2. Let $x$ be the percentage we are looking for. Then

x%N=192x\% \cdot N = 192
x100N=192\frac{x}{100} \cdot N = 192
Since N=600N = 600,
x100600=192\frac{x}{100} \cdot 600 = 192
6x=1926x = 192
x=1926x = \frac{192}{6}
x=32x = 32

3. Final Answer

The percentage of NN that represents 192 is 32%.
Final Answer: E) 32
