Country $A$ has $c\%$ of the world's population and $d\%$ of the worlds wealth. Country $B$ has $e\%$ of the world's population and $f\%$ of its wealth. Assume that the citizens of $A$ share the wealth of $A$ equally,and assume that those of $B$ share the wealth of $B$ equally. Find the ratio of the wealth of a citizen of $A$ to the wealth of a citizen of $B$.

$\text{(A) } \frac{cd}{ef}\quad \text{(B) } \frac{ce}{ef}\quad \text{(C) } \frac{cf}{de}\quad \text{(D) } \frac{de}{cf}\quad \text{(E) } \frac{df}{ce}$
