Question

Levi owns 85% of the gas stations in Harrison. In Madison, Vijay owns 3/5
of the gas stations. Who owns a greater percentage of gas stations in his area?

Answer 1

Answer:

Levi

Explanation:

We have to compare like terms (units), so convert the fraction to a percentage - because the question asked for an answer in percentages.

3              x

-----    =    -----

5              100

300 / 5 = 60

Vijay owns 60 % of the stations.

85 >  60

So, Levi owns more.
