Question 644090
50% of 50% (or half of 50%) is 25%


So adding 25% to 50% give you 75%, which means that 75% is 50% more than 50%. So the answer is <font color="red">choice C</font>


-------------------------------------------------------


The other choices are wrong and here's why:


A) Incorrect, since 25% of 50% is 0.25*0.5 = 12.5%, adding 25% of 50% onto 50% will give you 62.5% and NOT 75%


B) Incorrect, 25% of 75% is 18.75%. Subtract this from 75% to get 56.25%, which is NOT 50%


D) Incorrect. A percentage point is the difference of two consecutive percentages (eg: 25% - 24% = 1 percentage point). So "50 percentage points more than 50% " will give you 100% and NOT 75%
