The number is x is 200% of y. The number z is increased by 200% and is 50% of x. What percentage of z is y?
A - 33.3%
B - 100%
C - 200%
D - 300%
E - 333%
My Approach
x is 200% of y
Let y = 1 ==> x = 3
The number z is increased by 200% and is 50% of x
3z = x/2 ==> z = 1/2
if z = 1/2 and y = 1
Since y is double of z
So the answer should be [spoiler]100%[/spoiler]
OA is NOT B
