Answer:

y is equal to 9,600 and z is equal to 40,000

Explanation:

In order to find this, you need to divide the number for x by the percentage of y that it makes up. This will give us the y value.

y = 480/5%

y = 480/.05

y = 9,600

Now we just complete the same operation dividing y by its percentage to find z.

z = 9,600/24%

z = 9,600/.24

z = 40,000
