The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, let's break down the information given in the question and derive the value of \( x \). ### Step 1: Set up the equations based on the given information. We know from the question that: 1. \( 60\% \) of \( A = 30\% \) of \( B \) 2. \( B = 40\% \) of \( C \) 3. \( C = x\% \) of \( A \) From the first equation, we can express it as: \[ 0.6A = 0.3B \] ### Step 2: Rearranging the first equation. To eliminate the decimals, we can multiply both sides of the equation by \( 10 \): \[ 6A = 3B \] Now, dividing both sides by \( 3 \): \[ 2A = B \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] ### Step 3: Substitute \( B \) in the second equation. Now, we use the second piece of information: \[ B = 0.4C \] Substituting \( B \) from Equation 1 into this equation: \[ 2A = 0.4C \] ### Step 4: Rearranging to find \( C \). To isolate \( C \), we can multiply both sides by \( 10 \) to eliminate the decimal: \[ 20A = 4C \] Now, dividing both sides by \( 4 \): \[ C = 5A \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \] ### Step 5: Substitute \( C \) in the third equation. Now we use the third piece of information: \[ C = x\% \text{ of } A \] This can be expressed as: \[ C = \frac{x}{100}A \] Now substituting \( C \) from Equation 2 into this equation: \[ 5A = \frac{x}{100}A \] ### Step 6: Solve for \( x \). To eliminate \( A \) from both sides (assuming \( A \neq 0 \)): \[ 5 = \frac{x}{100} \] Now, multiply both sides by \( 100 \): \[ 500 = x \] ### Final Answer: Thus, the value of \( x \) is \( 500 \). ---
