Question 92940: If 20 percent of x equals 80 percent of y, which of the following expresses y in terms of x?
(A) y = 16% of x
(B) y = 25% of x
(C) y = 60% of x
(D) y = 100% of x
(E) y = 400% of x

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
20% of x = 80% of y
0.2x = 0.8y
x = 4y
y = 0.25x = 25% of x
So (B) is correct.
