Correct Answer: A

Rationale

Choice A is correct. Let $x$ represent the percentage of $300$ that is $75$ . This can be written as $\frac{x}{100} (300) = 75$ , or $3 x equals 75$ . Dividing both sides of this equation by $3$ yields $x equals 25$ . Therefore, $25 percent sign$ of $300$ is $75$ .

Choice B is incorrect. $50 percent sign$ of $300$ is $150$ , not $75$ .

Choice C is incorrect. $75 percent sign$ of $300$ is $225$ , not $75$ .

Choice D is incorrect. $225 percent sign$ of $300$ is $675$ , not $75$ .
