| 37 | 3/4 | 1 |
| 38 | 35 | 1 |
| 39 | 75% of 40 = 30 and 50% of 60 = 30. They are equal. | 2 |
| 40 | 20 | 2 |
| 41 | 50 | 2 |
| 42 | £10 | 2 |
| 43 | 300 | 2 |
| 44 | 140 | 2 |
| 45 | 72 | 2 |
| 46 | 40 (25% = 40 red, 50% = 80 blue; 160 − 40 − 80 = 40 green) | 3 |
| 47 | £78 (10% = £12, 25% = £30; £120 − £12 − £30 = £78) | 3 |
| 48 | 50 (75% of 200 = 150; 200 − 150 = 50) | 2 |
| 49 | £50 (50% = £100, 25% = £50; £200 − £100 − £50 = £50) | 3 |
| 50 | 50% (30 out of 60 = 1/2 = 50%) | 2 |
| 51 | 75% | 2 |
| 52 | 220 (10% of 200 = 20; 200 + 20 = 220) | 3 |
| 53 | 1 | 2 |
| 54 | 30 (75% of 120 = 90 silver; 120 − 90 = 30 not silver) | 2 |
| 55 | No. 10% of 130 = 13, not 130. To find 10%, divide by 10: 130 ÷ 10 = 13. | 2 |
| 56 | Yes. 1% of 1000 = 10, and 50% of 4 = 2, so 1% of 1000 is bigger. | 2 |
| 57 | Yes. 25% + 75% = 100%, which is always the whole amount regardless of the number used. | 2 |
| 58 | 25% is left. 50% of 80 = 40, 25% of 80 = 20; 40 + 20 = 60 eaten or given; 80 − 60 = 20 remaining. | 2 |
| 59 | 50% = 45, so the number is 90. 25% is half of 50%, so 25% = 45 ÷ 2 = 22.5. | 2 |
