[@georgantonischki1188]

% isn't a unit. 50% of 50% is 25% and not 2500 % squared. The problem is, there is no division for %. The problem is invalid. Example, there are a hundred tokens and i take 50% of them, I have 50 and 50 are left. If I try to divide them by 50%, I could argue I have two groups of 50 each or 50 groups of 2 each...

10 is same as 10 x 100/100 so the numerator turns out to be 1000 and the denominator is 100. It can be written as 1000 x 1/100 And 1/100 is = 1 percent ("per" "Cent"(100) ). Thus total value = 1000 %

Exactly. Essentially, the "%" symbol is the same as saying "divided by 100", or "multiplied by 1/100", so 5% = 5 x 1/100 = 5/100. Therefore, you can treat the % in the same way you'd treat a variable, such as x. If you have 6x/3x for exampel, the xs will cancel out, leaving 6/3 = 2. Therefore 500%/50% = 500/50 = 10.

[@gonzalotapia1250]

The % means "divided by 100". The numerator is bigger than 1 (500% = 5), but the denominator is less than 1 (5% = 0.05). So the division is bigger than 5. In fact, 5% is the same than 1/20, so the problem reduces to 5/(1/20) = 5*20 = 100. Another way: JUST SIMPLIFY THE %. 500%/50% = 500/50 = 100/10 = 10. As the answer is in percentage, just convert 10 in % back again.

[@teddykassanoff2618]

You can also do this with fractions. 10/2 is 500% while 1/2 is 50%. If we divide 10/2 by 1/2 we get 20/2 which is double of 10/2. Therefore it is 1000%

[@saptakbanerjee9712]

I think this question is a bit ambiguous. Let me put it this way. Case1. If nothing else is asked except this (500%)/(50%) therefore it is just a ratio. Thus the percentage gets cancelled out and we have 500 over 50 which gives us 10 over 1, i.e. 10. Final answer would be 10. Now we don't have 10 in any options so we have to go with the last option given. Case 2. It is clearly asked in the question that - what will be the equivalent percentage number for this decimal number written in fraction form, then the correct answer would be 1000% (same steps and we get 10 and finally the last step 10 multiplied by 100 over 100). e.g. convert the decimal number 1 in percentage. Solution: 1 over 1 is multiplied by 100 divided by 100, we get the answer 100%. Thus percentage equivalent of decimal number 1 is 100. We must remember when we are considering about percentage, it is always about converting one ratio of two numbers into another special kind of ratio in which the denominator is fixed as one hundred. Therefore we always need two numbers, in any case when we have one number that means the denominator is 1. Like in this particular question we calculateed the percentage of 10 over 1. So that was my explanation. Let's see anyone has more theories in their minds. THANKS for going through the whole text which got little lengthy!!

A percent can be treated as an ordinary dimensional unit: where a number n = n*100 %. So, 500 % / 50 % equates to 10 (a dimensionless quantity given that the percentage units cancelled out). If you then want the answer in units of percent, you apply the aforementioned conversion: 10 = 10*100 % = 1,000 %.

Dividing by half is the same as multiplying by two. My problem with the question is, there is no such thing as "500%" because in percentages, the most is 100%. Anything "above" is an error, therefore the question is invalid by default. It's simple, think in physical matter. If you have 100 blue balls in a bag, 100% of the balls in the bag are blue. You can't have 500% of the balls in the bag to be blue, because it's impossible to have 500 blue balls in a bag that only has 100 blue balls. The answer is therefore the secret and invisible option F) Invalid question.
