Question
22% of ‘x’ is equal to 66% of ‘y’, then find the value of x: y.
Solution
let’s solve the equation 22% of x is equal to 66% of y numerically: [ 0.22x = 0.66y ] To find the ratio ( x : y ), we divide both sides of the equation by 0.66 and by x: [{0.22x}/{0.66x} ={0.66y}/{0.66x} ] Simplify the fractions: [{1}/{3} ={y}/{x} ] Now, take the reciprocal of both sides to get ( x : y ): [{x}/{y} = 3 ] So, the ratio ( x : y ) is 3:1
