Math Problem Statement

If A percent of B is C, the C is what percent of AB?

Solution

To solve this, let's break the problem into steps:

  1. Given information:

    • A%A \% of B=CB = C
      This implies: A100B=C\frac{A}{100} \cdot B = C
  2. Find CC as a percentage of ABAB:
    We need to calculate: Percentage=CAB100\text{Percentage} = \frac{C}{AB} \cdot 100

  3. Substitute C=A100BC = \frac{A}{100} \cdot B into the percentage formula: Percentage=A100BAB100\text{Percentage} = \frac{\frac{A}{100} \cdot B}{AB} \cdot 100

  4. Simplify the expression: Percentage=AB100AB100\text{Percentage} = \frac{A \cdot B}{100 \cdot AB} \cdot 100 Percentage=A100100\text{Percentage} = \frac{A}{100} \cdot 100 Percentage=A\text{Percentage} = A

Final Answer:

If A%A \% of B=CB = C, then CC is A%A \% of ABAB.
