$\huge{\boxed{\rm{\red{B=141.75}}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

The number B is 10% less than another number C and C is 5% more than 150.

To find:-

Find the value of B .

Solution:-

The number C is 5% more than 150

=>C=150+5% of 150

=>C=150+(5×150)/100

=>C=150+(750/100)

=>C=150+7.50

=>C=157.50

The value of C=157.50

The value of B=10% less than C

=>B=10% less than 157.50

=>B=157.50-(10% of 157.50)

=>B=157.50-(157.50×10/100)

=>B=157.50-15.750

=>B=141.750

Answer:-

The value of B=141.75
