Question

Choose the smaller value from $15\%$ of $380$ and $25\%$ of $210$?

• A. $52.5$
• B. $53$
• C. $54.5$
• D. $55$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $52.5$

Let $x=15$ $\%$ of $380$

Hence, $x=15$ $\%$ $\times 380=\left(\frac{15}{100}\right)\times 80=15\times \frac{380}{100}=57$

Let $y=25$$\%$ of $210$

Hence, $y=25$ $\%$ $\times 210=\left(\frac{25}{100}\right)\times 210=52.5$

Hence, $52.5$ is the smaller value.
