Percentages

Question:

If 25% of half of x is equal to 2.5 times the value of 30% of one-fourth of y, then x is what percent more or less than y?

Options:

33\(\frac{1}{3}\)% more

33\(\frac{1}{3}\)% less

50% less

50% more

Correct Answer:

50% more

Explanation:

ATQ, 25 % x \(\frac{x}{2}\) = 2.5 (30 % x \(\frac{y}{4}\))

                                       5x = \(\frac{15 y}{2}\)

                                   x : y = 3 : 2

                                          = \(\frac{1}{2}\) x 100 = 50 % (more than y)
