1. Problem Description

The problem states that 10% of 20% of a is equal to 30% of 40% of b. We need to find what percentage of (3a+2b)(3a+2b) is (2a3b)(2a-3b).

2. Solution Steps

First, we translate the given information into an equation:
0.100.20a=0.300.40b0.10 * 0.20 * a = 0.30 * 0.40 * b
0.02a=0.12b0.02a = 0.12b
Dividing both sides by 0.02, we get:
a=6ba = 6b
Now, we want to find what percentage of (3a+2b)(3a+2b) is (2a3b)(2a-3b). Let this percentage be xx. So,
x%(3a+2b)=(2a3b)x\% * (3a + 2b) = (2a - 3b)
x100(3a+2b)=(2a3b)\frac{x}{100} * (3a + 2b) = (2a - 3b)
Substitute a=6ba = 6b into the equation:
x100(3(6b)+2b)=(2(6b)3b)\frac{x}{100} * (3(6b) + 2b) = (2(6b) - 3b)
x100(18b+2b)=(12b3b)\frac{x}{100} * (18b + 2b) = (12b - 3b)
x100(20b)=9b\frac{x}{100} * (20b) = 9b
Divide both sides by bb (assuming b0b \neq 0):
x10020=9\frac{x}{100} * 20 = 9
20x100=9\frac{20x}{100} = 9
x5=9\frac{x}{5} = 9
x=95x = 9 * 5
x=45x = 45
Therefore, (2a3b)(2a - 3b) is 45% of (3a+2b)(3a + 2b).

3. Final Answer

45%
