Question

A earns 20% more than B but 25% less than C. If B earns Rs. 900
less than C, find the earnings of C.​

Answer 1

Answer:

20%of 900 is 180. so,A earns 1080. but A earns 25% less than C.. soC earns 25%more of 1080.. so ans is 1080+ 270=1350

Answer 2

Answer:

let B earn 100x then A earns 20% more that is 120x, also A earning is 25% less than C . Therefore C earns = 120x × (100/75) = 160x.

Now C - B = 160x - 100x = 60x

which is equal to 900.

60x = 900, x = 1500

C earnings = 1500 × (160/100)

= 2400 .
