Question

If Ravi's salary is 50% more than that of Gopal's, then how much percent is Gopal's salary less than that of Ravi's salary?

Answer 1

let Gopal'ssalary be x rs.

then Ravi's salary be x/2+x

3x/2 rs.

Difference in gopal's and Ravi's salary :

3x/2-x=x/2 rs.

%={(x/2)/(3x/2)}×100

%=1/3×100

=33%

So, gopa 's salary is 33% less than Ravi's salary.
