Question

10 is 8% of a, and 5 is 4% of b. c equals b/a. What is the value of c?? step by step explanation pls...

Answer 1

c = 1

Explanation:

"10 is 8% of a": 0.08a = 10, or a = (10/0.08)

"5 is 4% of b": 0.04b = 5, or b = (5/0.04)

"c equals b/a": c = (b/a)

----

What is the value of c?

c = (b/a)

c = ((5/0.04)/(10/0.08))

c = (5/0.04)*(0.08/10)

c = (5/10)*(0.08/0.04)

c = (1/2)*(2)

c = 1
