Answer 1

Given: A's salary is 5% lower than B's.

To find: By what per cent is B's salary higher than A's

Solution:

• Now, we have given that A's salary is 5% lower than B's

• Now let salary of B be Rs. 100.

             then 5% of B will be:

             5/100 x 100

             = 5

• salary of A is 5 less than salary of B

• % = (5/95) x 100

           = 1 / 19 x 100

           = 100 / 19

           = 5.26

Answer:

           So By 5.26 per cent is B's salary higher than A's.
