The answer is D

"Percent" or "%" means "out of 100" or "per 100", Therefore x% can be written as $x/100$ .

We can write this problem as seen below and solve for $x$ :

$37/50 = x/100$

$color(red)(100) xx 37/50 = color(red)(100) xx x/100$

$cancel(color(red)(100)) 2 xx 37/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(50))) = cancel(color(red)(100)) xx x/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(100)))$

$2 xx 37 = x$

$74 = x$

Then - $74/100 =$ $74$ %
