If b/c = 1.25, then c is what percent of b? Choose the correct choice from the following.
A) 0.008
B) 0.08
C) 0.8
D) 8
E) 80
You are given , b/c =1.25 ---&gt; c &lt; b but only 'just'. This eliminates A-C as you are asked % and as such these values will be further reduced by 1/100, making them even smaller.   Also, as c iscloseto 'b', eliminate D and mark E as the correct answer.   Alternatively, 1.25 = 5/4 ---&gt; b/c=5/4 --&gt; c = 4/5 (b) = 0.8b ---&gt; c = 80% of b. 80 is the correct answer.
