'C' is the midpoint of the line segment AE. Points B and D are on the line segment AE so that AB=BC and CD=DE, what percentage of AC is AD? Correct Answer 150

Here, B is the midpoint of AC and D is the midpoint of CD. So, AB = BC = CD = DE Now,  AC = AB + BC = 2AB And,   AD = AB + BC + CD = 3AB = 3/2 x 2AB = 3/2 AC So, AD = 3/2 x 100% of AC = 150% of AC.
