b is 150%of a .c is 250% larger than b. d is 200% greater than c.If a equals 12,& what is d? Please help me solve this
Start piece by piece.
Find b first, then c and then d.
B is 18. How to find c?
c is 250% larger than b. What does that mean?
B is something and we add 250% to that
That kind of response sounds like a shaky foundation. I recommend watching the percentage-based videos on PrepSwift, particularly the “Percent of versus Percent More” one.
It is important that you can distinguish between the two, and is what this question is testing.
Cool thanks , can I know how it has to be solved
b is 150% of a → b = 1.5a
c is 250% larger than b → c = 3.5b
d is 200% greater than c → d = 3c
You have a. Use that to find, in order, b, c and d.
