Question

work out the missing amount in this statement :

20% of $30 = 40% of $ y
find (y) show your work please!

Answer 1

20% OF $30 = 40% OF $ Y

SO IF WE HAVE TO WORK OUT THE VALUE OF (Y)

SOLUTION = 20/100*30 = 40/100*y

= 6 = 0.4*y

TO FIND THE VALUE OF Y

= Y= 6/0.4= 15

SO Y = 15

TO PROOF IT = 20/100*30= 40/100*15

= 6 = 6
