Question 998505
Cereal cost 1/3 as much as bacon.  
<pre>
Then suppose cereal costs $1 and bacon costs $3
</pre>
Bacon cost 5/4 as much as eggs. 
<pre>
We divide $3 by 5/4.  $3÷(5/4) = $3×(4/5) = $12/5 = $2.40
</pre>
Eggs cost what percentage of the cost of cereal?
<pre>
We divide $2.40 by $1.00 and get 2.40 and multiply by 
100 and tack on a % and get 240%.
