Question

If salary of manoj is 40% less than that of subhash,then by how much %is the salary of subash more than the manoj

Answer 1

suppose that

salary of

subhash = 100%

then

manoj = 100% - 40% = 60%

how much more

100/60 = 66.66%

Answer 2

Explanation:

Let salary of manoj be ms and that of subhash be ss

then

ms=ss-40%ss

ms=60%ss ...(1)

Let ms+x*ms=ss ...(2)

substituting (1) in (2)

60%ss+x* 60%ss=ss

(1+x)*60%=1

1+x=1/0.6

x=1/0.6-1

x=2/3~0.6666

Let convert the value into percent by multiplying with 100

100*0.6666=66.66%=(66+0.66)%=66 2/3%
