Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (A) - (II), (B) - (I), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III)
\(x\%\) of a number is the number multiplied by \(\frac{x}{100}\).
(A) 125% of 3060 — this matches (II) 3825. 125% is 1.25 times the number: \(3060\times1.25=3825\).
(B) 40% of 265 — this matches (I) 106. \(265\times0.4=106\).
(C) 35% of 180 — this matches (IV) 63. \(180\times0.35=63\).
(D) 46% of 285 — this matches (III) 131.1. \(285\times0.46=131.1\).
