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

1.	x is 5% of y, y is 24% of z. If x = 480, find the values of y and z.
Answer» Given x = 480 Ans, x is 5% of y. So, we write it as: x = \({y}\times\frac{5}{100}\) \({480}=\)\({y}\times\frac{5}{100}\) solving for y, we get, \({y} =\frac{480\times100}{5}\) or y = 900 Now, It is also given that: y is 24% of z Therefore, we can write it as: \({y} ={z}\times\frac{24}{100}\) or 9600 = 24z/ 100 Solving it for z we get, z = 960000/24 z = 40000

Answer»

Given x = 480

Ans, x is 5% of y.

So, we write it as:

x = \({y}\times\frac{5}{100}\)

\({480}=\)\({y}\times\frac{5}{100}\)

solving for y, we get,

\({y} =\frac{480\times100}{5}\)

or y = 900

Now, It is also given that: y is 24% of z

Therefore, we can write it as:

\({y} ={z}\times\frac{24}{100}\)

or 9600 = 24z/ 100

Solving it for z we get, z = 960000/24

z = 40000
