Let y = 20.........(2y)/20 + (3y)/10 = (2 *20)/20 + (3 * 20)/10 = 8

The 8/20 = 2/5 =0.4 = 40%

$$\frac{2y}{20} + \frac{3y}{10}$$

$$\frac{8y}{20}$$

$$\frac{2y}{5}* 100$$

$$40%$$

Solution:

Approach and Working

To find, $$\frac{(2y)}{20} + \frac{(3y)}{10}$$ is what percent of y, we first have to calculate the value of $$\frac{(2y)}{20} + \frac{(3y)}{10}$$.
• $$\frac{(2y)}{20} + \frac{(3y)}{10}$$ = $$\frac{(2y+ 3y*2)}{20}$$
• $$\frac{8y}{20}$$= $$\frac{2y}{5}$$

Now, we can easily find $$\frac{2y}{5}$$ is what percentage of y.

• $$\frac{2y}{5} /y$$ *100= 40%

Hence, the correct answer is option A.
