| 40 | 25% of 40 = 10 and 50% of 16 = 8, so 25% of 40 is greater. | 2 |
| 41 | 4 | 2 |
| 42 | 15 | 2 |
| 43 | 15 (5 by bus + 10 walking) | 2 |
| 44 | 20 | 2 |
| 45 | 18 | 2 |
| 46 | 20 | 2 |
| 47 | 40 | 2 |
| 48 | £10 (50% = £20, 25% = £10, remainder = £40 − £20 − £10 = £10) | 3 |
| 49 | 26 (25% of 40 = 10, 10% of 40 = 4, 40 − 10 − 4 = 26) | 3 |
| 50 | 50% | 2 |
| 51 | 10 (75% of 40 = 30 yellow; 40 − 30 = 10 not yellow) | 2 |
| 52 | £5 (50% = £10, 25% = £5, remainder = £20 − £10 − £5 = £5) | 3 |
| 53 | 36 (10% of 40 = 4; 40 − 4 = 36) | 2 |
| 54 | 10 (75% of 40 = 30 ripe; 40 − 30 = 10 not ripe) | 2 |
| 55 | 10 (50% = 20 red, 25% = 10 green; 40 − 20 − 10 = 10) | 2 |
| 56 | No. 10% of 40 = 4, not 8. To find 10%, divide by 10: 40 ÷ 10 = 4. | 2 |
| 57 | Yes. For example, 25% of 20 = 5 and 50% of 10 = 5. Both give the same answer. | 2 |
| 58 | Yes. 75% + 25% = 100%, which is the whole amount. | 2 |
| 59 | No. 50% of 30 = 15 and 75% of 20 = 15. They are equal, not different. | 2 |
| 60 | If 10% = 3, then 50% = 5 × 10% = 5 × 3 = 15. The number is 30 and 50% of 30 = 15. | 2 |
