Arrange the following in decreasing order. (A) 24% of 25(B) 18% of 30…

The correct answer is Option (4) → (D), (C), (A) and (B)

Calculations

• (A) $24\%$ of $25$: $\frac{24}{100} \times 25 = 24 \times \frac{1}{4} = \mathbf{6}$
• (B) $18\%$ of $30$: $\frac{18}{100} \times 30 = 1.8 \times 3 = \mathbf{5.4}$
• (C) $11\%$ of $55$: $\frac{11}{100} \times 55 = 0.11 \times 55 = \mathbf{6.05}$
• (D) $16\%$ of $50$: $\frac{16}{100} \times 50 = 16 \times \frac{1}{2} = \mathbf{8}$

Comparison

Now, we arrange these values in decreasing order (from largest to smallest):

1. $8$ (D)
2. $6.05$ (C)
3. $6$ (A)
4. $5.4$ (B)

The sequence is (D), (C), (A), (B).
