Question

If a is 60% of b, b is 40% of c, and c is 20% of d, then 6d is what percent of 20a?

A. 0.625
B. 6.25
C. 62.5
D. 625
E. 6250

Archit3110 · Answer

a=0.6b
b=0.4c
c=0.2d
a=0.6*.4*.2d
a=.048d

6d=x*20*a
6d=.01x*20 * 0.048d
.01x= 6.25
x=625
IMO D

globaldesi · Answer

a=.6b, b=.4c, c=.2d
thus a =.6*.4*.2 d
a= 0.048d
20a = .96d
now 6d = x* 20a
x = 6/(.96)
x = 625
hence answer D

KSBGC · Answer

d = 100

c = 20

b = 8

a = 4.8

(6d / 20a)*100

(600 / 4.8 * 20 )*100

(600 / 96 )*100

600 / 96 = 6.25

6.25 * 100 = 625.

D is the correct answer.

ScottTargetTestPrep · Answer

We can create the equations:

a = 0.6b

And

b = 0.4c

and

c = 0.2d

Therefore, we have b = 0.4(0.2d) = 0.08d, and hence a = 0.6(0.08d) = 0.048d.

So 20a = 20(0.048d) = 0.96d, and 6d is:

6d/(0.96d) x 100 = 6/0.96 x 100 = 600/96 x 100 = 625 percent of 20a

Answer: D

Abhishek009 · Answer

Let,  d = 1000

So,  c = 200  ;  b = 80  &  a = 48

Thus,  6d = 6000  &  20a = 960

Then,  6d  is what percent of  20a  =  \frac{6000}{960}*100 = 625  Answer must be (D)
