Step-by-step explanation:
just look what happened :
every term was multiplied by a factor with the value 1 (to keep the original value) but to establish a common denominator.
a/b was multiplied by d/d, and c/d was multiplied by b/b, so that the common denominator is then bd.
so, the first answer option is correct.
although I am a bit unhappy with its phrasing.
but the other options are definitely wrong.
Here are the resulting percentages:
LEAH = 3.5%
RATHA = 2.3%
ED = 1.8%
CHRIS = 4.2%
MARY = 2.5%
You arrive at this answer by dividing the bonus by the wages
BONUS/WAGE = PERCENTAGE OF BONUS TO WAGE.
Chris had the greatest percentage of wages in his bonus
24 and 2/5=24+2/5
24=24
0.1=1/10
2/5=x/10
times both sides by 10
20/5=x
4=x
2/5=4/10=0.4
24 and 2/5=24+0.4=24.4
No solution
