Given: 30% of x is y
This means: (3/10)x = y
Note: Our goal will be to manipulate the above equation to find the value of x/y (aka Quantity A)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 10/3 to get: x = y(10/3)
Divide both sides of the equation by y to get: x/y = 10/3
Replace x/y in Quantity A with 10/3 to get:
Quantity A: 10/3
Quantity B: 3
Answer: A
x and y >0

Stem: x and y is positive
30/100 (x) = y , simplified to y= (3/10)(x)
Quantity A Quantity B
X/(3/10)X ? 3
1/(3/10) ? 3
10/3 > 3
Clearly A
