Question

What $\%$ of 200 is 50?

• A. $20$
• B. $15$
• C. $25$
• D. $40$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $25$

Let $x\%$ of $200$ is $50,$ then
$\frac{x}{100}\times 200=50$
$\Rightarrow x\times 2=50$
Divide both sides by $2,$ we get
$\Rightarrow \frac{x\times 2}{2}=\frac{50}{2}$
$\Rightarrow x=25$
Hence, $25\%$ of $200$ is $50.$
