    Answer:
    The number b is bigger than the number a by 1/4 of a.
    Step-by-step explanation:
    If the number a is smaller than the number b by 1/5 of b, then
    a + 1/5b = b.
    Thus,
    a= b – 1/5b= 4/5,
    b= 5/4 a.
    Consider the Expression b=5/4a:
    b=5/4a= 4/4a+ 1/4a= a +1/4a
    This gives that the number b is bigger than the number a by 1/4 of a.
