Tom and Jerry took part in a 100 m race.
When Tom had run 80 m, Jerry only managed to run 60 m.
How far was Jerry from Tom from the finishing line
when Tom just dashed through it.
Tom : Jerry : : 8 : 6
4x : 3x : : 100 : ?
300x = ?(4x)
x = 75
Jerry was 25 m behind the finishing line
when Tom has just dashed through it.

The answer is 25 m
Explanation:
with every 20 m tom run jerry run 15 m so for the last 20 m to the finish line that tom runs jerry would have ran 15 more
so
60+15=75
100-75=25m
