The amount "paid" was less than the amount "made". What does that tell you about the fraction? Is it greater than one or less than one?

But the OP did not specify what the fraction is:The amount "paid" was less than the amount "made". What does that tell you about the fraction? Is it greater than one or less than one?
fraction = (paid)/(made) ...or...(made)/(paid)... or ... (left-over)/(made) ... or something else.

The OP does say "fraction for what was paid?"
I would interpret that as the amount that was paid as a fraction of the amount that was earned:
\(\displaystyle \frac{16800}{99000}= \frac{168}{990}= \frac{84}{495}= \frac{28}{165}\).
I don't know where "5/1 or 1/5 or 4/5" could have come from.

I fear it came from [MATH] \frac{1\boldsymbol{9}800}{99000}[/MATH]
