Choice A is correct. Let x represent the percentage of 300 that is 75. This can x ( )= = be written as 300 75, or 3x 75. Dividing both sides of this equation by 3 100 = yields x 25. Therefore, 25% of 300 is 75. Choice B is incorrect. 50% of 300 is 150, not 75. Choice C is incorrect. 75% of 300 is 225, not 75. Choice D is incorrect. 225% of 300 is 675, not 75.
