Question: If x is 40% of y, then what percent of y is x?
Information available: x is 40% of y.
Same information written in a different voice: 40% of y is x.
The actual question is: what percent of y is x?
With the statement above the question, (40% of y is x), the answer to the question is: 40%
Ans: 40% of y is x.
Had the question been “What percent of x is y?”, the answer would have been:
x is 40% of y… meaning
x = y X 40 / 100 …meaning
x = 0.4 X y … meaning
y = x / 0.4 … meaning
y = 2.5 X x … meaning
y = x X 250/100 … meaning
y is 250% of x
The question seems to test the ability to understand and answer than algebra. It seems to be more a question to test the English skill and not Math!
