Question

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

Answer 1

x=5% of y, y =24% of z. x=480

$\therefore$ 5% of $y=480\Rightarrow \frac{5}{100}\times y=480$

$\Rightarrow y=\frac{480\times 100}{5}=9600$

and 24% of z =y =9600

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

$\Rightarrow z=40000$

$\therefore y=9600,z=40000$
