Question

If 25% of $x$ is equal to 40% of $y$, then 20% of $x$ is equal to what percent of $y$?

• A. 16%
• B. 8%
• C. 48%
• D. 32%
• E. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is D

32%

$\frac{25}{100}\times x=\frac{40}{100}\times y$
$x=\frac{8}{5}y$
$\frac{20}{100}\times \frac{8}{5}\times y=32\%ofy$
