Question #da170

Answer 1

`x` is `150%` of `y`

Explanation:

Note that `n%` is defined as `n/100`.

Therefore `300%` is equal to `300/100=3`:
`x=300%*25=3*25=75`

Since `y` is 25% more than 40, then `y` is `100%+25%=125%` of 40:
`y=125%*40=1.25*40=50`

Since we want to find n such that `n%*y=x`, we divide both sides by y:
`n%=x/y=3/2=1.5=150%`

Therefore, `x` is `150%` of `y`.
