Question

Shikha's income is 60% more than that of Shalu. What percent is Shalu's income less than Shikha's?

Answer 1

Let Shalu's income =Rs.100

Then Shikha's income wil be =Rs. 100+60=Rs.160

Now difference in their incomes =Rs. 160-100=Rs.60

$\therefore$ Shalu's income is less than Shikha's income by Rs.60

Percentage less $=\frac{60\times 100}{160}=\frac{75}{2}\%$

=37.5%
