Answer 2

Answer:

% = 5/6 x 100 = 83 2/3%

Step-by-step explanation:

A is 6 times more than B.

So if B = 1, A= 1 + (1 x 6) = 7

What is being compared = how much B is less than A = 7 - 1 = 6

To whom it is compared = It is compared with A = 7

=> Percent = 6/7 x 100 = 85 5/7 %

Note : If question states A is 6 times B, we would have had B = 1 & A = 6

And required % = 5/6 x 100 = 83 2/3%
