Question #1c03d

Answer 1

The answer is D

Explanation:

"Percent" or "%" means "out of 100" or "per 100", Therefore x% can be written as `x/100`.

We can write this problem as seen below and solve for `x`:

`37/50 = x/100`

`color(red)(100) xx 37/50 = color(red)(100) xx x/100`

`cancel(color(red)(100)) 2 xx 37/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(50))) = cancel(color(red)(100)) xx x/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(100)))`

`2 xx 37 = x`

`74 = x`

Then - `74/100 =` `74`%
