Question

Levi owns 85% of the gas stations in Harrison. In Madison, Vijay owns 3/5

of the gas stations. Who owns a greater percentage of gas stations in his area?

Answer 1

Levi

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to compare like terms (units), so convert the fraction to a percentage - because the question asked for an answer in percentages.

3 x

----- = -----

5 100

300 / 5 = 60

Vijay owns 60 % of the stations.

85 > 60

So, Levi owns more.
