Question

Check Match the percent expression to the equivalent dollar amount. $88 125% of $80 $90 300% of $25 $100 220% of $40 $75 150% of $60

Answer 1

We are asked to match the percent expression to the equivalent dollar amount.

First let us understand how to calculate the percentage of a number.

Example:

Let us find out 200% of 50

Divide the percent by 100 then multiply it with the number

`(200)/(100)*50=2*50=100`

Therefore, 200% of 50 is 100.

Now let's come to the given problem.

1) 125% of $80

Divide the percent by 100 then multiply it with the dollar amount

`(125)/(100)*\$80=1.25*\$80=\$100`

Therefore, 125% of $80 is $100 (3rd option)

2) 300% of $25

Divide the percent by 100 then multiply it with the dollar amount

`(300)/(100)*\$25=3*\$25=\$75`

Therefore, 300% of $25 is $75 (4th option)

3) 220% of $40

Divide the percent by 100 then multiply it with the dollar amount

`(220)/(100)*\$40=2.2*\$40=\$88`

Therefore, 220% of $40 is $88 (1st option)

4) 150% of $60

Divide the percent by 100 then multiply it with the dollar amount
