Is x>0.05?

[dianapaolasanchez]

Is x>0.05?
1) x>3/40
2) x is greater than 3 percent of 50

What is the answer? d or e

[stutis]

1. x>3/40 => x>0.075. Therefore x is surely > 0.05. So its either A or D
2. x>3/100*50 ie x>1.5. Again x should be surely > 0.05

So D. Unless I am missing something here.

looks good.

note that if all the ">" signs were reversed to "<", then the answer would become (e).
