Question

A income is 60% more than B. By what percent is B income less than A​

Answer 1

B’s income is 37(1/2)% less than A.

Answer 2

B's Income is $\sf{37.5}$ % less than A

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that, % refers to out of 100.

Let, The income of B be '100'

Income of A in percentage = 60%

A's Income = $\sf{\dfrac{60}{100}}\:×\:100$

$\sf⟹ {\dfrac{60}{100}}\:×\:100$

$\sf⟹ {100\:+\:60}$

$\sf⟹ {160}$

From this,

• A's Income = 160
• B's Income = 100

We could say that, B's income is 60 less than A. As 160 - 100 = 60.

Percentage :

$\sf{\dfrac{60}{160}}\:×\:100$

$\sf{37.5}$ %.

Hence, B's Income is $\sf{37.5}$ % less than A.
