Question

(A) 800
(B)  900 \frac{1}{2}

(E) 1200

paragw · Answer

To solve the problem:

First, calculate 37.5% of 160:
37.5% = (75/2)% and in fraction, it is 3/8
3/8 * 160 = 60

Now, what percent of 6 is 60?
Let x be the required percent.
So,
x% of 6 = 60
(x/100) * 6 = 60
x = 1000

Hence, the correct answer is:
 (C)  1000

HRX273 · Answer

so what i did was i rounded the value of 37.7 to 40 percent and then as doing so both of the value would be divisible by that 160 as well. i know it gives bit higher approx but values bit differ so i choose 1000.... let me know if that logic is okay ???

Krunaal · Answer

Not sure how rounding would help, 40% will get multiplied to 160 not divided. The correct approach is to remember 1/8 = 12.5%, thus 37.5% = 3/8 and then solve.

HRX273 · Answer

40% of 160 = 64 (instead of 60)

Then 64 is (64 ÷ 6) × 100 = 1066.67%, not the same as 1000%. So value were bit difference so that's how I crack this

Dereno · Answer

Lets calculate 37.5%

(1/8) = 12.5%

(3/8) = 37.5%

37.5% of 160

= (3/8)* 160

= 60.

(x/100) * 6 = 60

x =  1000.

Option C
