Question

If the number B is 10% less than another number C and C IS 5% more than 150,then B is equal to (with explanation)

Answer 1

Answer:

Here, C is 5% more than 150.

So, 5% of 150 = $\frac{5}{100}$ x 150

                       = 7.5

Therefore, C = 150 + 7.5 = 157.5

Now, B is 10% less than C

So, 10% of 157.5 = $\frac{10}{100}$  x 157.5

                           = 15.75

Therefore, B = 157.5 - 15.75 = 141.75

Answer 2

Answer:

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

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
