If the sum of 5% of x and 4% of y is $\frac{2}{3}$ of the sum of 6% of x and 8% of y, then the ratio of y to x is:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
( 5% of x + 4% of y ) = \(\frac{2}{3}\) ( 6% of x + 8% of y )
( 15% of x + 12% of y ) = ( 12% of x + 16% of y )
3% of x = 4% of y
x : y = 3 : 4
The correct answer is Option (3) → 3 : 4
