The quickest solution is to find a pair of values for b and c that satisfy the given information (b/c = 1.25)
For example, it could be the case that b = 125 and c = 100 (since 125/100 = 1.25)
At this point, the question "c is what percent of b?" becomes "100 is what percent of 125?"
Well, we know that 62.5 is 50% of 125, which means 100 must be more than 50% of 125
Answer: E
If b/c = 1.25, then c is what percent of b? (A) 0.008 (B) 0.08 (C) 0.

\(\frac{b}{c} = 1.25 = \frac{10}{8}\)
\(\frac{c}{b}*100 = \frac{8}{10}*100 = 8*10\) = 80
Hence, Answer is E
\(\frac{c}{b}*100 = \frac{8}{10}*100 = 8*10\) = 80
Hence, Answer is E
