If x/y=4 and y is not 0, what percentage (to the nearest percent) of x is 2x-y?

If x/y=4 and y is not 0, what percentage (to the nearest percent) of x is 2x-y? Correct Answer 175%

Here,  x / y = 4 or, x = 4y or, 2x = 8y or, 2x - y = 8y - y or, 2x - y = 7y Now,  (2x - y) / x = 7y / 4y or, 2x - y = 7 / 4 x 100% So, 2x - y = 175% of x
