alguien me puede ayudar como puedo expresar esta frase?
""Dos hombres pueden, uno y otro, fabricar zapatos y sombreros, y uno de ellos supera al otro en ambas producciones; pero fabricando sombreros sólo supera a su competidor en un quinto, o 20% y fabricando zapatos lo supera en un tercio o 33%."
Gracias por todos sus comentarios de antemano!
