Question

A 's income is 25% more than that of B how percent is B's income less than that of A
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let B’s income = Rs. 100

Then A’s income = 100 + 25 = Rs. 125

Now, difference of income of A and B

= Rs. (125 – 100) = Rs. 25

If A’S income is Rs. 125, then B’s income less than A = Rs.25

If A’s income is Re. 1, then B’s income less than A

= Rs. 25/125

If A’s income is Rs. 100, then B’s income less than A = Rs. (25/125 × 100)

= 1/5 × 100 = Rs. 20

∴ B’s income is less than A’s income = 20%
