5. Which is greater: 50% of ￡100 or 25% of ￡400

Answer 1

Comparison between \(n\)'s of SubSTEP1 and SubSTEP2 which will indicate if either 50% of £ 100 or 25% of £ 400 is greater. So, performing the calculation we get, For SubSTEP1: \(50 \% \times 100\)= 50 For SubSTEP2: \( 25 \% \times £ 400 = 100 \) Hence £ 100 i.e., 25% of £ 400 is greater than 50% of £100 which is £ 50.

Answer 2

## Step1: The whole of the first part is 100, while the percent is 50 %. Similarly, the whole of the second part is 400, and the percent is 25 ## Step2: We begin solving for \(n\) in both cases which signifies the part which is a percent of the initial whole, using the rule specified ### The formula is: **\(n = \text{% of Whole} \times \text{Whole} \)** ## SubSTEP1: For 50% of £ 100, ### \( n = 50 \% \times 100 \) ## SubSTEP2: For 25% of £ 400, ### \( n = 25 \% \times 400 \)
