Question

Which is bigger 40% of 200 or 1/3 of 150?

Answer 1

x% of 100=x
therefor
x% of 200=2x
40% of 200=80

1/3 of 150=1/3 times 15=150/3=50

80>50

40% of 200 is bigger than 1/3 of 150

Answer 2

1/3 of 150 is 150 divided by 3 which equals 50
10% of 200 is 20 because 20*10 equals 200
20 * 4 would be 80 which is greater than 50
So 40%of 200 is bigger than 1/3 of 150
