32% of 425 – ?% of 250 = 36. What is the value of '?'?
Explanation and memory cue
Calculate 32% of 425: 0.32 × 425 = 136. The equation is 136 - (x% of 250) = 36. Rearranging gives x% of 250 = 136 - 36 = 100. So, (x/100) × 250 = 100, which means x = (100 × 100) / 250 = 40%. Therefore, the value of '?' is 40, which corresponds to option B.
