Question

2. If y exceeds x by 20%, then x is less than y by?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given that the value of y exceeds the value of x by 20%. Now, we have to find by how much percentage does x less than y. So, x is less than y by the amount (1.2A-A)=0.2A.

Answer 2

Answer:

(16 + 2/3 %)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the value of x = A

Given that the value of y exceeds the value of x by 20%.

So, the value of y will be = A + A20/100

                          = A + 0.2A

                          = 1.2A

Now, we have to find by how much percentage does x less than y.

So, x is less than y by the amount (1.2A-A)=0.2A.

Therefore, the required percentage is equal to

0.2A/1.2A * 100 %  

= 100/6 %

= (16 + 2/3 %)
