Question

36. Given X is 50% larger than Z and Y is 25% larger than Z. Then X is what percent
larger than Y?
(a) 20% (b) 25%
(75%
(d) 50%
(d) 6 -3​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = z * 150/100 = z * 6 /4 = 6z/4

y = z * 125/100 = z * 5 /4 = 5z/4

so, x is what percent larger than Y..

x - y = 6z/4 - 5z/4 = z /4

x- y/y *100= z/4/5z/4 *100 = 1/5 * 100 = 20%

so, the answer is (a) :20%
