Explain

A. 20%
B. 24%
C. 25%
D. 27.5%.

Answer 1

Let the salary of B=100
then the salary of A = 25% more than that of B
so, A salary = B+25 % of B
means= 100+25%of 100
100+25=125
A's salary more than B =
A-B=125-100 =25
A is % more than that of B=
(25/125×100)%=20%
A 's salary is 20 % more than that of B

Answer 2

A. 20%
here, let the salary of B be 100
then A's salary = 25% of B's salary+ A's own salary
= (25/100×100)
=25
