Answer:

  42

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct choice is marked.

If you follow instructions, you will compute the quotient for each value in the set:

  2520 ÷ 30 = 84

  2520 ÷ 42 = 60 . . . . . the value we're looking for (we need go no further)

  2520 ÷ 84 = 30

__

The easier way to solve the problem is to multiply the equation by x/60, so you have ...

  2520 ÷ 60 = x

Then, you're doing one division instead of two or three.

  2520 ÷ 60 = 42 = x
