Question

37 1/2 is what percent of 5

Answer 1

750%

Explanation:

We know that 100% of 5 is 5,

200% of 5 is 10,

300% of 5 is 15,

400% of 5 is 20,

500% of 5 is 25,

600% of 5 is 30,

700% of 5 is 35,

800% of 5 is 40.

So 37 1/2 percent of 5 must be between 700 and 800 percent of 5. We also know that 2.5 is 50% of 5, and 35 + 2.5 = 37.5. So 37 1/2 is 750% of 5
