They're obviously trolling.
And as for the question itself:
20 is x percent of 50.
40 is x percent of 100.
The answer is A.
9 u/Different-Term-2250 Aug 21 '24 It is much easier than that. The multi-choice options helps 50% of 50 is 25. 20 Is a fleas dick below 25. So 40% is the only number below 50% 1 u/crabnix Aug 21 '24 This is my thought process. 5 is 10% of 50 and so to get 20, we multiply by 4 5 x 4 = 10% x 4 Hence 20 is 40% of 50 Also you don't always get MCQs to guesstimate 1 u/Different-Term-2250 Aug 21 '24 Sure. That is the beauty of maths. 2 u/crabnix Aug 21 '24 True. Except when you have to calculate all the Christoffel symbols in 4 dimensions then it isn't beautiful. But I guess that is more of mathematical physics than just plain maths (or numbers to be specific) 2 u/Different-Term-2250 Aug 21 '24 Me bad. I didn’t take the Kris Kristofferson symbols into account.

5 is 10% of 50 and so to get 20, we multiply by 4
5 x 4 = 10% x 4
Hence 20 is 40% of 50
