Question

If A is 150 percent of B, then B is what percent of (A + B)?​

Answer 1

A = (150/100)B = (3/2)B

This means that A + B = (3/2)B + B = (5/2)B.

Then B over A + B is the same thing as B over (5/2)B which is 2/5.

2/5 = 40/100 = 40%

Answer 2

Answer:

A = (150/100)B = (3/2)B

This means that A + B = (3/2)B + B = (5/2)B.

Then B over A + B is the same thing as B over (5/2)B which is 2/5.

2/5 = 40/100 = 40%
