If r and s are positive integers, r is what percent of s?

(1) r = 3/4*s

(2) r/s = 75/100

r is what percent of s can be written as \(\frac{r}{s}\) \(* 100 \) = ?

since both the statements give us the value of r/s, our answer is (D)

Learning: a percent is just another ratio. So when we are given a ratio it can be easily converted into a percentage by multiplying the given ratio by 100.

Thus without giving much thought we can see that (D) is our answer

I think "positive integers" info was redundant. why it was mentioned then?

Dear Sneha2021

what if some of them is zero? 0
take into consideration 0 and 3

3 is what percent of 0 ?
3 = \(\frac{what}{100}\)*0 -- > 3 = 0 ?
