Question

IF 'A's income is 25% more than that of 'B'.How many percent of income less than that of 'A'​

Answer 1

The answer is 20% less

Step by step explanation:-
Let B’s income be “x”
Then A = 25% more than that of A
First we must find what is 25% of B’s income
That is: 25/100 * x
Then we must add the 25% of B’s income to B’s income
That is: 25/100*x +x
So we can divide the number and make it smaller
That is 1/4 * x + x
Now we have found A’s income:
1/4*x +x = 5/4*x


B’s income = x


Difference= 5/4*x - x
That is: 5/4*x - 4/4x ( turn into like fractions)
= 1/4*x


Now to find the the loss percent:
Difference/ A’s income * 100
1/4*x * 100
____
5/4*x


Once you divide you will get the answer as 20% lesser than A’s income.
