Question

40% of one spig is a spoog. 25% of a speeg is a spoog. 70% of a speeg is a spug. what percent of 1 spig is 5 spugs?

Answer 1

5 spugs is 560% of 1 spig

Explanation:

a - spig

b - speeg

c - spoog

d - spug

40% of one spig is a spoog: 40%a = c

25% of a speeg is a spoog: 25%b = c

70% of a speeg is a spug: 70%b = d

what percent of 1 spig is 5 spugs?: x%a = 5d

40%a = c and 25%b = c

40%a = 25%b

`b=(40\%a)/(25\%)=1.6a`

d = 70%b = 70%•1.6a = 112%a

x%a = 5d

x%a = 5•112%a

÷a ÷a

x% = 560%
