0.4x+0.25y = 0.3(x+y) Mutiply by 100 40x+25y = 30x+30y 10x=5y Once u get x/y = 1/2 This is part to part ratio so part/whole ratio for x would be 1/3 = 33.3 % I didnt get the question so I followed this approach and ended up with: 10x = 5y 2x=y Ratio: x: y: x+y = 2:1:3 so x/total = 2/3 and got it wr...
