the tokes are five. In the ratio, you see in the question.
using the unknown multiplier we do know that
\(5x:3x:2x:4x:x \) total \(15x\)
We do know that the minimum tokes are 1/8
\(\frac{1}{8}*3x+\frac{1}{8}*2x+\frac{1}{8}*x = \frac{3}{4}x\)
\(\frac{\frac{3}{4}x}{15x}\)
Calculate = 0.05 or 5%
C is the answer
PS: just a matter to read carefully
