PercentageEasy
If 50% of a number is 1000, what is 75% of the same number?
- (A)1000
- (B)1400
- (C)1500
- (D)750
Correct answer: (C) 1500
50% of the number is 1000, so the number is 1000 × 100 ÷ 50 = 2000. Now 75% of 2000 = 2000 × 75 ÷ 100 = 1500. Hence the required value is 1500.
Shortcut: Scale directly: 1000 × 75/50 = 1500.
