$p\%=\frac{p}{100}\\\\150\%=\frac{150}{100}=1.5\\-----------------------\\If\ "n"\ is\ 150\%\ of\ number\ "m"\ then\ n=1.5m\\\\n\ ?\ m\\\\1.5m\ ?\ m\to 1.5m > m\\\\therefore\ \boxed{n > m}$

If n = m

n must be 100% of m
m must be 100% of n

As 150 is greater than 100, n is greater than m.
<u /> $\rightarrow As \ 150 >100, \ \ \ \ n > m$

The value of $a_{5}$ is 2500, when $a_{1}=4$ and $5a_{n-1}$ .

Given that, $a_{1}=4$ and $5a_{n-1}$ .

We need to find the value of $a_{5}$ .

<h3>What is an arithmetic sequence?</h3>

An arithmetic progression or arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers such that the difference between the consecutive terms is constant.

Now, to find the value of $a_{5}$ :

$a_{2} =5a_{2-1}=5a_{1}=5 \times4=20$
