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 = $\frac{1.5x-x}{1.5x}\times100$

                             $=\frac{0.5x}{1.5x}\times100$

                             $=\frac{5}{15}\times100$

                             $=33.33$

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

Answer 2

Answer:

100/3 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Let B gets Rs100

A's salary is 50% more than B's salary so a gets 100+ ( 100*50%)

                                                                                 100+ 50 = Rs150

B gets (150-100)=Rs50 less than A

Percentage of B's salary less than A's salary will be = 50 / 150 * 100

                                                                                     = 100 / 3 %
