A restaurant is owned by three partners. Partner "A" owns 3/5 of it, and partner "B" owns twice as much as partner "C". What percentage of the restaurant belongs to partner B?

Figuring out ownership in a business partnership can feel like a puzzle, but it always starts with what you know for sure. The first partner's stake is given as a fraction, 3/5. Converting this to a percentage is the best first step; 3 divided by 5 is 0.60, meaning this partner has a controlling 60% share. This immediately tells us that the other two partners, B and C, must share the remaining 40% of the business between them.

The key to solving the rest is understanding the relationship between the last two partners. Partner B's share is double that of Partner C. You can think of their combined 40% as being made of three equal "units" of ownership: two units for B and one for C. To find the value of a single unit, we divide the total remaining percentage (40%) by the total number of units (3). This gives us a value of 13
