Question

If the income of Ram is 12.5% more than that of Shyam,the income of Shyam is less than that of Ram by?

Answer 1

Answer:

11.11%

Step-by-step explanation:

From Shyam’s point of view:

Let the income of Shyam = 100

Then, the income of Ram = 100 + (12.5/100) * 100

                                        = 112.5

From Ram’s point of view:

Ram’s income = 112.5

112.5 — is 100%

100 (Shyam’s income)   — ? %

Cross multiplying

(100 x 100) / 112.5 = 88.89

So, Shyam’s income is less than Ram’s by 100 - 88.89 = 11.11%
