Answer 2

Cecilia is 19 m behind the Arman.

When Arman crossed the finish line, Babken was 10m behind him.
When Babken crossed the finish line, Cecilia was 10m behind him.

What are percentage?

percentage is the ratio of composition of matter to the overall composition of matter multiplied by 100.

Here,
When Babken is 10m behind the Arman, distance covered by babken is 90 m. Cecilia is 10 m behind when Babken cross the finish line implies Cecilia cover 90% of Babken covered distance.
So Cecilia covers 90% of Babken covered distance when Arman crossed finish line.

As arman crossed finish line Cecilia is at  = 90% of run covered by babken, 
= 90 * 90/100
= 81
Now, Cecilia behind Arman when he crossed the finish line = 100-81
=19

Thus, Cecilia is 19 m behind the Arman.
