Answer 1

Answer:

Probably 60-70%. That would be the Answer

Answer 2

Answer:

71%

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets Mark's Salary be x.

So, George's salary = x + 20% of x = x + 0.2x = 1.2x

Harry's salary = 1.2x + 30% of 1.2x =  1.2x + 0.36x = 1.56x

Albert's salary = 1.2x - 20% of 1.2x = 1.2x - .24x = 0.96x

Tony's salary = 0.96x + 40% of 0.96x = 0.96x + 0.384x = 1.344x

Now, % = (Albert's salary/Tony's salary)*100 = (0.96x/1.344x)*100

              = 71.4% ≈ 71%
