Question

If Sumit's salary is 50%
more than that of Amit,
then how much percent
is Amit's salary less
than that of Sumit?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose, Amit's income is 100, then Rahul's income is 125.

Rahul's income is 25% more than Amit's.

Amit's income is (125-100)/125*100 % less than Rahul's.

That is 20%.

Answer 2

Amit's salary is $\bf 33 \frac{1}{3} \%$ less than that of Sumit

Given :

Sumit's salary is 50% more than that of Amit

To find :

Percantage of Amit's salary less than Sumit's salary

Solution :

Step 1 of 2 :

Calculate difference in Amit's salary and Sumit's salary

Let Amit's salary = Rs. 100x

Since Sumit's salary is 50% more than that of Amit

∴ Sumit's salary

= Rs. 100x + (50% of Rs. 100x)

= Rs. 100x + Rs. 50x

= Rs. 150x

Sumit's salary Rs. 50x more than that of Amit

Step 2 of 2 :

Calculate percantage of Amit's salary less than Sumit's salary

Hence percantage of Amit's salary less than Sumit's salary

$\displaystyle \sf = \frac{50x}{150x} \times 100\%$

$\displaystyle \sf = \frac{1}{3} \times 100\%$

$\displaystyle \sf = 33 \frac{1}{3} \%$
