The percent proportion is a/b = p/100, where p is the percentage of the total fraction on the left side of the equation that you are trying to figure out.
We know that p=5, because p represents percentage, and the percentage 5% is equal to the fraction 5/100. Also, we know that 60 = b, or the denominator as this is the entire portion that we are trying to figure out.
a/60=5/100
Now, we need to use cross products, or multiplying the numerator of one fraction by the denominator of the other, and setting them equal to one another.
100 * a = 60 * 5
If we simplify by multiplying, then we get the equation:
100a = 300
When we divide the variable by the coefficient, we get the equation
a=3

Hi there!
Since the digit 5 is in the thousandths place, the answer is 0.005.
Hope this helps!
$0.42 that is what your answer would be
Hmm
let's try some numbers
we have 3 scenarios
x>y
x=y
x<y
x>y
x=-1 and y=-2
x-y=-1-(-2)=-1+2=1
it's positive when x>y
x=y
x=-1, y=-1
-1-(-1)=-1+1=0
nope
x<y
x=-2 and y=-1
-2-(-1)=-2+1=-1
nope
x-y is positive when 0>x>y
