You can put this solution on YOUR website! If Arizona had X, then Jamal had 1.25X and Genia had 1.5X
So Genia has 1.5/1.25 more than Jamal
In % 1.5 * 100/1.25 = 120, so Genia has 20% more than Jamal
You can put this solution on YOUR website! g=1.50a=(3/2)*a
j=1.25a=(5/4)*a
a=g/3/2
a=j/5/4
a=2g/3
a=4j/5
2g/3=4j/5
10g=12j
g=12j/10
g=1.2*j
g=120% of j
Genia has 20 % more than Jamal
