Question

if the income of A is 40% more than the income of B.
then by what percentage is B income less than that income of A​

Answer 1

Answer:

28.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume B earns RS 100. As per the statement, since A earns 40% more, his income is equal to RS 140.

Now, let us consider this from the view of A.

When he looks, he earns RS 140 and B earns RS 40 lesser than him.

To check how much lesser this is in percentage, take this factor (40/140) and multiply it by 100.

This works out to 200/7 which is approximately equal to 28.5% approximately.

28.5% is B income less than that income of A
