The ratio of students that got A to students that got B is an illustration of comparison

The number of students that got A in the test is 8y/x

How to determine the number of students

The ratio of the student is given as:

A : B = y : x

8 students got B in their final test.

So, the ratio becomes

A : 8 = y : x

Express the ratio as a fraction

[tex]\frac A8 = \frac yx[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 8

[tex]A = \frac{8y}x[/tex]

Hence, the number of students that got A in the test is 8y/x
