the ratio of a to b is 4 to 5 , where a and b are positive . if x equals a increased by 25 percent of a , and m equals b decreased by 40 percent of b , what is the value of m / x ?
a / b = 4 / 5 m / x = ( 3 / 5 ) * 5 / ( 5 / 4 ) * 4 = 3 / 5 the answer is e .
multiply(divide(subtract(const_100, 40), add(const_100, 25)), divide(5, 4))
