To solve for n in the equation 50.3(n+9.25) = -120.72, we need to isolate the variable n.

To start, we can distribute the 50.3 on the left side of the equation:

50.3n + 50.3(9.25) = -120.72

Next, we can simplify the right side of the equation:

50.3n + 458.775 = -120.72

To isolate the variable n, we can subtract 458.775 from both sides of the equation:

50.3n = -120.72 - 458.775

50.3n = -579.495

Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 50.3 to solve for n:

n = -579.495 / 50.3

n ≈ -11.51 (rounded to two decimal places)

Therefore, the correct response is -11.65 or negative 11.65.
