Archit3110 · Answer

3.6 percent of (5x)/12 = 0.015x
so option III is valid 
IMO C

CareerGeek · Answer

3.6 percent of (5x)/12 
= 3.6/100*5x/12
= 3x/200

III - YES

Assume x as 1000. 3x/200 = 15

I. 3x percent of 0.2
= 3000 percent of 0.2
= 3000/100*0.2
= 6 - NO

II. 0.05 percent of 3x
= 0.05 percent of 3000
= 0.05/100*3000
= 1.5 - NO

IMO Option C

Stem= 3x/200 which is III

I and II is not = 3x/200.  C

ScottTargetTestPrep · Answer

Simplifying the given expression, we have:

(0.036)(5x/12) = (0.003)(5x) = 0.015x

Let’s look at each Roman Numeral:

I. 3x percent of 0.2

3x/100* 0.2 = 0.6x/100 = 0.006x

I is not equivalent.

II. 0.05 percent of 3x

0.05/100 * 3x = 0.15x/100 = 0.0015x

II is not equivalent

Since there is no “none” among the answer choices, we know at this point that only III must be true. However, let’s verify that III is indeed true:

III. 3x/200

3x/200 = 0.015x

III is equivalent.

Answer: C
