Answer 1

Answer:

100%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the income of q be x.

The income of p is 50% more than the income of q hence the income of p is thus :

P = 1.50x

The income of q is 50% more than r and hence the income of r is 50% less that of q.

The income of r is thus :

R = 0.5x

We want to compare the income of p and r.

We compare it as follows :

p = 1.50x

r = 0.5x

The difference is thus :

1.50x - 0.5x = x

This is equivalent to 100%

So the income of p is 100% more than the income of r.
