The answer is 47.85 because you're just multiplying the percentage to the given number, but first, convert the percentage into a decimal.
It is 1595. Put it on excel so you can better have an overview how it is done. You need 5 columns, column A-E. On column A, put 1 to 5 in rows 1 to 5. On column C, put the answers: 2, 7, 26, 101 and 400. On column D, put number 3 in all 5 rows. Back on column B, insert =sum(C1-A1) on row 1 and copy till row 5. On column E, insert =sum(B1+C1*D1) on row 1 and copy till row 5 and you will get 1595 at the end.
First, 4d-7=25/4
Then,4d=53/4.
Then you cross multiply, to get 16d = 53. Your final answer is 53/16, or 3 5/16.
