(c) 40%
(d) 180%
(e) None of these​

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 80 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us take the third number as 100

Then 1st number will be 120 as given in the question

Then 2nd number will be 150 as given in the question

To find:-- Percentage of first number to second number

We need to subtract 150-120 = 30

To find more percentage of second number than first number -->

30/150 * 100 = 20%

Percentage of first number to second number will be 100%- 20% = 80%
