    Answer: The firm concentration ratio of the 5 largest companies in the market is 0.8.

    Explanation: we must add the market supply percentage of the 5 largest companies in the market.

    The first 3, 20% each.

    And the next 2, 10% each.

    20% + 20% + 20% + 10% + 10% = 80%

    Percentage of the 5 largest companies / 100 = Concentration ratio.

    80/100 = 0.8.
