Answer 1

the answer is 20%of x is y

Answer 2

Answer:

20% of x is y.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Expression  60% of (x-y) = 40% (x+y)

To find : What percent of x is y ?

Solution :

Expression  $60\% \text{ of } (x-y) = 40\% \text{ of } (x+y)$

Solving the expression,

$\frac{60}{100}\times (x-y) =\frac{40}{100}\times(x+y)$

$6(x-y) =4(x+y)$

$6x-6y=4x+4y$

$2x=10y$

$\frac{2}{10}x=y$

Multiply and divide by 10,

$\frac{20}{100}x=y$

$20\% \text{ of }x=y$

Therefore, 20% of x is y.
