Which expressions can you use to find [tex]75\%[/tex] of 50? Check all that apply.

A. [tex]0.25 \times 56[/tex]
B. [tex]\frac{3}{4} \times 56[/tex]
C. [tex]0.75 \times 56[/tex]
D. [tex]\frac{1}{4} \times 56[/tex]
E. [tex]3 \times 14[/tex]



Answer :

To determine which expressions can be used to find [tex]\( 75\% \)[/tex] of 50, let's break it down step-by-step.

First, we compute [tex]\( 75\% \)[/tex] of 50:
[tex]\[ 75\% \text{ of } 50 = 0.75 \times 50 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ 0.75 \times 50 = 37.5 \][/tex]

Now, let's evaluate each given expression to see if it equals 37.5:

1. [tex]\( 0.25 \times 56 \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ 0.25 \times 56 = 14 \][/tex]
This does not equal 37.5.

2. [tex]\( \frac{3}{4} \times 56 \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \frac{3}{4} \times 56 = 42 \][/tex]
This does not equal 37.5.

3. [tex]\( 0.75 \times 56 \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ 0.75 \times 56 = 42 \][/tex]
This does not equal 37.5.

4. [tex]\( \frac{1}{4} \times 56 \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \frac{1}{4} \times 56 = 14 \][/tex]
This does not equal 37.5.

5. [tex]\( 3 \times 14 \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ 3 \times 14 = 42 \][/tex]
This does not equal 37.5.

After checking each of these expressions, none of them equal 37.5. Therefore, there are no expressions among the given options that can be used to find [tex]\( 75\% \)[/tex] of 50. None of the provided expressions are correct.
