Question

Given are three numbers. If the second and third numbers, respectively, are 25%and 50% more than the first, then what percentage of the second is the third?

Answer 1

solution:

Let third number is X.

Then first no = 20% of X = 20X/100

Second number = 50% of X = 50X/100  

Percent of first no of second no,

= [(20X/100)/(50X/100)] * 100 = (2*100)/20 = 40%.
