Answer 1

The correct option is C 25%

Step : Expressing the given statement as percent

Given,
$700gm$ as a percentage of $2.8kg$.
[Multiply first quantity by $100$ and divide by second quantity, at the same time write the sign of percentage]
$\therefore 700gm$ as a percentage of $2.8kg=\frac{700}{2800}\times 100\%$
$[\because 1kg=1000gm]$
$=\frac{1}{4}\times 100\%=25\%$

Hence, $700gm$ is $25\%$ of $2.8kg$.
