Question

$25$ per cent of $600$ is equal to $15$ per cent of what number?

• A. 700
• B. 800
• C. 900
• D. 1000

Answer 1

The correct option is D 1000

Let the number is $x$

Then according to the question,

$15\%$ of $x=25\%$ of $600$

$\Rightarrow \frac{15}{100}\times x=\frac{25}{100}\times 600$

$\Rightarrow \frac{15x}{100}=150$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{150\times 100}{15}=1000$
