Question

If the first number is 20% less than the second number and the second number is 25% more than 100, then find the first number.

• A. 80
• B. 90
• C. 100
• D. 110

Answer 1

The correct option is C 100

Given that,
The second number is 25% more than 100.
The first number is 20% less than the second number.

Now,

The second number is
= 100 + 25% of 100

= 100 + 25

= 125

Similarly,

The second number is
= 125 - 20% of 125

= 125 - 25

= 100

Hence, the first number is 100.
