If x% of y equals 1500 and simultaneously y% of z equals 2000, establish the algebraic relationship connecting x and z.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Has been given :
x% of y = 1500 ⇒ (x/100) y = 1500 ⇒ xy = 150000
y% of z = 2000 ⇒ (y/100) z = 2000 ⇒ yz = 200000
yz / xy = 200000 / 150000
z / x = 4 / 3
z = (4/3)x
4x = 3z
