Question

if 15% of A is equal to 20% of B then 25% of A is equal to what percent of B

Answer 1

100/3% probably (1%=20/15% so25%=20/15%*25%)

Answer 2

Answer:

25% of A is equal to  $33\frac{1}{3}$%B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

15% of A is equal to 20% of B

To find,

what percent of B = 25% of A

Solution

Since 15% of A is equal to 20% of B, we have

$\frac{15}{100}$ A = $\frac{20}{100}$B

canceling 100 on both sides we get

15A = 20B

A = $\frac{20}{15}$B = $\frac{4}{3}$B

A = $\frac{4}{3}$B ------------------(1)

Substituting the value of A from equation(1) we get,

25% A = 25% $\frac{4}{3}$B

= 25× $\frac{4}{3}$% B

=$\frac{100}{3}$%B

= $33\frac{1}{3}$%B

25% A =  $33\frac{1}{3}$%B

∴25% of A is equal to  $33\frac{1}{3}$%B
