Question

x is 5% y, y is 24% of z. If x = 480, find the values of y and z.​

Answer 1

x is 5% of y

i.e. x=\frac{5}{100}y

x=480,

480=\frac{5}{100}y

y=\frac{480\times 100}{5}

y=9600

y is 24% of z

i.e. y=\frac{24}{100}z

y=9600,

z=\frac{9600\times 100}{24}

z=40000

Therefore, y=9600 and z=40000.

Answer 2

Answer:

y = 5.76

z = 4.38

Step-by-step explanation:

x = $\frac{5}{y}$% ( 5% of y / 5 time of y )

y = $\frac{24}{z}$% ( 24% of z )

IF x = 480, y = ? ; z = ?

y = $\frac{5}{100}$ × 480

y = 24  ( 1% of y )

24% of z = $\frac{24}{100}$ × 24

            y = 5.76

z = 100% - 24%

  = 76%

z = $\frac{76}{100}$ × 5.76

  = 4.3776

  = 4.38
