if A is 37.5% more than B ,by what percent is B less than A?
Answers
Answer:
From my calculations, I got that B would be 72.7% of A (not the same as less than A)
A = B + 0.375 x B (B + 37.5% of B to make it more than)
A = B(1+0.375) (B is a common factor)
A = 1.375B
B = A/1.375 OR (1/1.375)*A
B = 0.7272727272727272.....A
B = 72.7% of A
Writing it the same way as we did above to find A
B = 0.727A = (1-x)A
1-x = 0.727
x = 0.273
Therefore B is 27.3% less than A

if the question is like that
Question : If A got 37.5% less than B , then by what is the percentage of B
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A is 37.5% less than of B
that means: 100%B=100%A +37.5%B
(100-37.5)%B=100%A
62.5%B=100%A
1%B=(100/62.5)%A
100%B=100(100/62.5)%A
100%B=160%A
so , when B is 100 then A needs to be 160 to be equal to B , that means B is greater than A , as we already know. So how much?
lets take the difference
B percentage is 60 % (after taking the difference).
