Question: 1 / 400

Which of the following calculations is correct?

15% of 300 equals 45.

To determine the correctness of the calculations, we can analyze the correct option.

In the first calculation, 15% of 300 is computed as follows:

- First, to find out what 15% of 300 is, you convert the percentage to a decimal: 15% = 0.15.

- Then, multiply this decimal by 300: 0.15 × 300 = 45.

This confirms that 15% of 300 equals 45, making this calculation correct.

For the other calculations:

- 20% of 250 should yield 50, which is correct as 0.20 × 250 = 50.

- 10% of 400 would equal 40 (0.10 × 400 = 40), not 35.

- Finally, 50% of 500 is indeed 250 (0.50 × 500 = 250).

Only the calculation for 10% of 400 does not hold true, which is why that option is not valid. The others are still valid calculations, but only the specific context of 15% of 300 equaling 45 is requested.
