PERCENTAGES

 

It is given that 5% increase in X always means 3% increase in Y and 5% increase in Y always implies 2.5% increase in Z. Relationship between X and Z could be

 

    1. 1.05 X = 1.025 Z
    2. 0.5 X = 0.25 Z
    3. 25X = 7.5 Z
    4. 250X = 213Z

 

Solution

X * (5/100) = Y * (3/100)

X / Y = 3 / 5

Y * (5/100) = Z * (2.5/100)

Y / Z = 1 / 2

X : Y =3 : 5

Y : Z = 1 : 2

X : Y : Z = 3 : 5 : 10

X / Z = 3 / 10

25 X = 7.5 Z
