If 80 percent of 300 is 30 percent of x, then x =

A. 800
B. 550
C. 240
D. 112.5
E. 72
\(\frac{80*300}{100} = \frac{30*x}{100}\)

Or, \(80*300 = 30*x\)

Or, \(x = 800\), Answer must be (A)

B. 550
C. 240
D. 112.5
E. 72

We can create the equation:

0.8 x 300 = 0.3x

240 = 0.3x

2400 = 3x

800 = x

Answer: A
