B.278%
C400%
D.900%
E.1400%​

Answer 1

Answer: B. 278%

Explanation:

The area of the circle formula is area = pi times r^2

Let's find the area of Circle X.

3.14 times 5^2 = 78.5

Let's find the area of Circle Y

3.14 times 3^2 = 28.26

Now take 78.5 divided by 28.26, then times 100% = 277.7% or ground up to 278%

So the answer is B. 278%
