The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, let's break it down: ### Step 1: Find the value of 'a' We know that: \[ 30\% \text{ of } a = 40\% \text{ of } 720 \] Calculating \( 40\% \text{ of } 720 \): \[ 40\% \text{ of } 720 = \frac{40}{100} \times 720 = 288 \] So, we have: \[ 30\% \text{ of } a = 288 \] Now, to find 'a': \[ 30\% \text{ of } a = \frac{30}{100} \times a = 288 \] \[ a = \frac{288 \times 100}{30} = 960 \] ### Step 2: Find the value of 'b' Next, we know that: \[ 15\% \text{ of } b = 25\% \text{ of } 1080 \] Calculating \( 25\% \text{ of } 1080 \): \[ 25\% \text{ of } 1080 = \frac{25}{100} \times 1080 = 270 \] So, we have: \[ 15\% \text{ of } b = 270 \] Now, to find 'b': \[ 15\% \text{ of } b = \frac{15}{100} \times b = 270 \] \[ b = \frac{270 \times 100}{15} = 1800 \] ### Step 3: Find the value of 'c' Now we need to find 'c' using the equation: \[ 40\% \text{ of } (a + b) = 80\% \text{ of } c \] First, calculate \( a + b \): \[ a + b = 960 + 1800 = 2760 \] Now calculate \( 40\% \text{ of } (a + b) \): \[ 40\% \text{ of } 2760 = \frac{40}{100} \times 2760 = 1104 \] Now we set this equal to \( 80\% \text{ of } c \): \[ 80\% \text{ of } c = 1104 \] \[ \frac{80}{100} \times c = 1104 \] \[ c = \frac{1104 \times 100}{80} = 1380 \] ### Step 4: Find \( 20\% \text{ of } (a + c - b) \) Now we need to calculate \( a + c - b \): \[ a + c - b = 960 + 1380 - 1800 = 540 \] Now calculate \( 20\% \text{ of } (a + c - b) \): \[ 20\% \text{ of } 540 = \frac{20}{100} \times 540 = 108 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the final answer is: \[ \boxed{108} \]
