3) clueless

Answer 2

x = 100%

y = 100%

z = 100%

Explanation:

80% * x = 80

80/100 * x = 80

0.80 * x = 80

0.80/0.80 * x = 80/0.80

y = 100%

60% * y = 60

60/100 * y = 60

0.60 * y = 60

0.60/0.60 * y = 60/0.60

y = 100%

127% * z = 127

127/100 * z= 127

1.27 * z =

1.27/1.27 *z = 127/1.27

z = 100%
