Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)
A percentage of a number is the number multiplied by \(\frac{\text{per cent}}{100}\); a percentage that is a simple fraction (37.5% \(=\frac{3}{8}\), 75% \(=\frac{3}{4}\)) makes the working shorter.
(A) 37.5% of 64 — this matches (III) 24. 37.5% is \(\frac{3}{8}\), and \(\frac{3}{8}\times64=24\).
(B) 14% of 50 — this matches (I) 7. \(\frac{14}{100}\times50=7\).
(C) 65% of 80 — this matches (IV) 52. \(\frac{65}{100}\times80=52\).
(D) 75% of 72 — this matches (II) 54. 75% is \(\frac{3}{4}\), and \(\frac{3}{4}\times72=54\).
