Answer 2

B is equals to 141.75

Step-by-step explanation:

C is 5% more than 150

that means

C = (100+5)% of 150

C = 105% of 150

C = $\frac{105}{100} \times 150$

C = 157.5

now, number B is 10% less than the number C

so,

B = (100-10)% of C

B = 90% of C

using C = 157.5

B = $\frac{90}{100}\times 157.5$

on solving

we get

B = 141.75

hence ,

B is equals to 141.75
