Step-by-step explanation:
Your question appears to be phrased incorrectly. If the ratio of soccer players to football players is 4:1 then for every 1 football player there are 4 soccer players. For example, if there are 3 football players, there would be 12 soccer players.
The equivalent expression would be S = 4F
The statement: "there are 4 more soccer players than football players" is not the same thing. It simply means that we add 4 to the total of football players to find out how many soccer players there are.
The equivalent expression would be S = F + 4
That being said: An equivalent ratio to 4:1 would be 8:2 , 12:3, 16:4, ...
Think of the ratio as a fraction. 4:1 = 4/1
4/1 = 8/2 = 12/3 = 16/4 ..., etc.
First off, "whatever%" of "anything" is just (whatever/100) * anything
part A)
so... firm A got 11,000 invested, turned a profit of 24%, how much is 24% of 11000? well (24/100) * 11000
firm B got 14,000 invested, and returned 15% in profits, how much is 15% of 14000? (15/100) * 14000
part B)
for the amounts above, we get 2640 and 2100 respectively
so, the total profit "amount" is 2640 + 2100 or 4740
the total investement was 11000+14000 = 25000
if 25000 is the 100%, how much is 4740 in percentage?

solve for "x"
0, and Positive infinity is the answer
