Q. Which is greater?

\newline

Choices:

\newline

(A)

50\%

of

436

\newline

(B)

20\%

of

950

\newline

(C) neither; they are equal

Calculate $50$ % of $436$ : Calculate $50\%$ of $436$ . $\newline$ To find $50\%$ of a number, divide the number by $2$ . $\newline$ Calculation: $436 / 2 = 218$ .
Calculate $20$ % of $950$ : Calculate $20\%$ of $950$ . $\newline$ To find $20\%$ of a number, multiply the number by $0.20$ . $\newline$ Calculation: $950 \times 0.20 = 190$ .
Compare results: Compare the results from the two calculations. $\newline$ From the previous steps, we have $218$ from choice (A) and $190$ from choice (B). $\newline$ Since $218$ is greater than $190$ , choice (A) is the correct answer.
