If 1.5x = 0.04y, then what is the value of \(\frac{(y-x)}{(y+x)}\)?

  • A.73/77
  • B.77/73
  • C.7.3/7.7
  • D.74/77

Answer: A

Given 1.5x = 0.04y.

This can be written as \(\frac{x}{y} = \frac{0.04}{1.5} = \frac{4}{150} = \frac{2}{75}\).

Now we need to find \(\frac{(y-x)}{(y+x)}\). Divide the numerator and denominator by y: \(\frac{(1 - x/y)}{(1 + x/y)}\).

Substitute the value of x/y: \(\frac{(1 - 2/75)}{(1 + 2/75)} = \frac{(73/75)}{(77/75)} = \frac{73}{77}\).
