BTGmoderatorLU wrote:a percent of b is c and c percent of d is e, then a is what percent of e? (a, b, c, d, e > 0)
A. (bd)/1000
B. 10000/(bd)
C. 10000 bd
D. (bd)/10000
E. 1000000/(bd)
a percent of b is c
Let a=b=c=100. since 100% of 100 is 100.
c percent of d is e.
Let c=d=e=100. since 100% of 100 is 100.
a is what percent of e?
Since a=e=100, a is
100% of e.
The correct answer must yield the value in blue when b=d=100 is plugged in.
Only
E works:
1000000/bd = 1000000/(100*100) = 100.
The correct answer is
E.
