Here;

$$\frac{4}{5}$$ = 0.8

SO percentage of 0.8 will be always < 0.8 (Since 0.8% = $$\frac{0.8}{100}$$= 0.008 )

Hence statement 2 >Statement 1

ASIDE: k% = k/100

So, for example: 8% = 8/100 = 0.08
15% = 15/100 = 0.15
123% = 123/100 = 1.23

So, 4/5 % = (4/5)/100 = 0.8/100 = 0.008

We get:
QUANTITY A: 0.008
QUANTITY B: 0.8

Cheers,
Brent
