Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Answer: 175%
Steps:
From x/y = 4, deduce x = 4y, so y/x = 1/4.
Compute the percentage: (2x - y)/x × 100% = (2 - y/x) × 100% = (2 - 1/4) × 100% = 7/4 × 100% = 175%.
Quick numeric check: let y = 1 → x = 4. Then 2x - y = 8 - 1 = 7, which is 7 out of 4 = 175% of x.
