Question 14

165 is 110% of 150.

To determine what percent 165 is of 150, we can use the formula (part/whole) x 100. In this case, (165/150) x 100 equals 110%, making option B the correct choice.

A) 95%

This option is incorrect because calculating 95% of 150 would yield 142.5, which is significantly less than 165. Therefore, 165 cannot be 95% of 150.

B) 110%

This option is correct as it accurately reflects the calculation where (165/150) x 100 equals 110%. Thus, 165 is indeed 110% of 150.

C) 111%

Option C is incorrect because if we calculate 111% of 150, we get 166.5. Since 165 is less than this value, it cannot correspond to 111% of 150.

D) 115%

This option is also incorrect. Calculating 115% of 150 results in 172.5, which is greater than 165. Hence, 165 cannot represent 115% of 150.

Conclusion

The correct answer is B) 110%, as it accurately represents the relationship between 165 and 150 through percentage calculation. Options A, C, and D all fail to represent this relationship correctly, as they either understate or overstate the percentage of 150 that corresponds to 165.
