1. If the number B is 10% less than another number C and C is 5% more than 150, then B is equal to ​

Answer 1

Answer:

B would be equal to 141.75

Explanation:

Given,

C is 5% more than 150,

i.e. C = (100+5)% of 150

= 105% of 150

$= \huge\frac{105\times 150}{100}$

$=\huge \frac{15750}{100}$

= 157.5

Now, B is 10% less than C,

i.e. B = (100-10)% of C

= 90% of C

= 90% of 157.5

$= \huge\frac{90\times 157.5}{100}$

$\huge\pink{=\frac{14175}{100}}$

= 141.75.

Hence, This is Answer.
