Question

If A exceeds B by 40% and B is less than C by 20%, then find the ratio of A:C​

Answer 1

Answer:

A : C = 18 : 25ans.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C = 100

So B = 20% less than C or 80% of C = 80/100×100 = 80

And A exceeds B by 40%

So A = B + 40% of B

= 80 + 80 × 40/100 = 112

So A : C = A/C = 112/100 = 28/25

Or, 28 : 15

Answer 2

Correct Answer:
