Answer 1

Answer:

b's salary is 33.33 % less than a's salary.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

a's salary is 50% more than b's salary.

To find: Percentage of b's salary which is less than a's salary.

let x be the b's salary.

⇒ a's salary = x + 50% of x = x + 0.5x = 1.5x

Now Percentage =  

$\frac{1.5x-x}{1.5x} *100\\\frac{0.5x}{1.5x} *100\\\frac{5}{15} *100\\\\=33.3333$

Therefore, b's salary is 33.33 % less than a's salary.
