10,000 percent of 500 percent of 20 percent less than some positive integer= (10000/100)*(500/100)*(80/100)*a = 100*5*0.8a=400a
is what percent greater than
400 percent of 20 percent of 10 percent of that positive integer= (400/100)*(20/100)*(10/100)*a=4*0.2*0.1=0.08a
So 100*(400a-0.08a)/0.08a=100(40000a-8a)/8a=100(5000-1)=100*4999=499900%

A) 499,900 percent
B) 49,990 percent
C) 4,999 percent
D) 499.9 percent
E) 49.99 percent


Let’s let n = the positive integer; we see that 10,000 percent of 500 percent of 20 percent less than some positive integer is:

10,000/100 * 500/100 * 80/100 * n = 100 * 5 * 4/5 * n = 400n

So we need to determine 400n is what percent greater than 400 percent of 20 percent of 10 percent of that integer, so we have:

400/100 * 20/100 * 10/100 * n = 4 * 1/5 * 1/10 * n = 4n/50 = 2n/25

Now we can determine 400n is what percent greater than 2n/25:

(400n - 2n/25)/(2n/25) * 100

Multiplying by 25/25 we have:

(10,000n - 2n)/2n * 100

9,998/2 * 100 = 499,900 percent

Answer: A
