Answer 11

Nope, think about a number that is 2.5 times the amount of 100 and you get your answer. Of course it's going to be more since anything more than 100% of a number is going to be greater than the original number.

Answer 12

Seems to be a bit of confusion here.

100 is 250% of?

as an equation : 100 = 2.5X, or X= 100/2.5 = 40

We can say it this way: 250% of 40 = 100

It is similar to this problem:
5 is 10% of what number? 5 is 10% of 50.
or, saying it the other way round, 10% of 50 = 5
