Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

B and E only. The target is 0.036×5x120.036 \times \frac{5x}{12} =0.015x= 0.015x. B: x% of 1.5 =0.015x= 0.015x; E: 3x200=0.015x\frac{3x}{200} = 0.015x. A gives 0.03×20x=0.6x0.03 \times 20x = 0.6x, C gives 0.03x×0.20.03x \times 0.2 =0.006x= 0.006x and D gives 0.0005×3x0.0005 \times 3x =0.0015x= 0.0015x, so none of A, C or D matches.
