Albert Chambers · Answer 2

b = 27 5 (0.54) regardless makes 2.7 x 100 = 27 where 300% of 0.18 = 0.54

Step-by-step explanation:

We need a number that is 20% of b and equal to 5.4

To find 0.54 ( = 20%) we can use fractions for percentages 20% = 1/5 or 2.70 thereafter as we do not work in decimals if no fraction in mentioned we get b = 26 and 20% of this is 5.2. Then plug in as above where the answer is 5 (0.54) regardless makes 2.7 x 100 = 27 where 300% of 0.18 = 0.54 but plug in fractions instead.
