Text Explanation

To solve this problem, we need to convert some language into various math operations. First of all, both the percent symbol (%) and the word "percent" mean "to divide by 100". Additionally, the word "of" just means "to multiply".

Using this information, let's simplify the expression given to us in the prompt:

Let's get rid of that decimal in the fraction by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by 1, in the form of :

We can further simplify this by canceling the common factors in the numerator and denominator:

Now we have a simplified expression that we need to compare the answer choices to. Once again, we'll need to convert from language to math and then simplify the expressions.

A.  3 percent of 20x

B.  x percent of

C.  3x percent of 0.2

D.  0.05 percent of 3x

E. 

Thus, the only two statements that are equivalent to the given are answer choices B and E.
