Question:

If 60% of a number is equal to $\frac{3}{7}$ of another number, then what is the ratio of the two numbers?

Options:

4 : 7

5 : 8

5 : 7

1 : 2

Correct Answer:

5 : 7

Explanation:

60% of x = $\frac{3}{7}$

⇒ 60% can also be written as $\frac{3}{5}$

⇒ So, $\frac{3}{5}$x = $\frac{3}{7}$y

⇒ x : y = 5 : 7
