Question

As income is 60% more than that of B. By what percent is Bs income less than As?

Answer 1

Answer:

Let income of B = x
From the question A's income is 60% more that that of B
​So,
Income of A = $\left(x+\frac{x*60}{100}\right)$

= $\frac{16x}{10}$
= 1.6x
Percantage of B's income in comparision of A's income :
= $\frac{x\times 100}{1.6x}$%

= $\frac{100}{1.6}$%
= 62.5%
So, In percent B's income less than A's = 100 - 62.5
= 37.5 % (Ans)
