GIVING 30 POINTS PLZ ANSWER the number a is smaller than the number b by 1/5 of b. by what part of a is b bigger than a?

A is smaller by 1/5 of b

So if you add a and 1/5 of b you would have b:

a + 1/5b = b

Solving for a you have:

A = b - 1/5b = 4/5b

A = 4/5b

Solving for b divide both sides by 4/5:

B = 5/4a

Since 4/4 = 1, this means b I’d bigger than a by 1/4

The answer = 1/4

b) well because you get well
