George's income is 33.33% more than John's income.

Given,

"John's income is 25 % less than George's income".

To Find,

What percentage of George's income is higher than John's?

Solution,

We can solve this mathematical problem using the method below.

To find any percentage we know the formula is as follows,

x%=$\frac{x}{100}$.

Assume that, George's income is x.

As given, John's earnings are 25% lower than George's earnings.

25% less than George's earning means, (x-$\frac{25x}{100}$)

∴John's earnings = $(x-\frac{x}{4} )$

=$\frac{3x}{4}$.

Now check What percentage of George's income is higher than John's? ​

George's income is $\frac{x}{4}$ more than john's.

The percentage is= $\frac{\frac{x}{4} }{\frac{3x}{4} }$×100 %.

=33.33%.

Hence, George's income is 33.33% more than John's income.
