Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

B is equal to 141.75

Given:

• No. B = 10% less than another number C

• No. C = 5% more than 150

Find :

• No. B = ?

Solution :

C = 5 % more than 150

C = 150 + 5% of 150

C = 150 + (5 / 100) × 150

C = 150 + 7.5

C = 157.5

B = 10% less than C

B = 157.5 - 10% of 157.5

B = 157.5 - (10 / 100) × 150

B = 157.5 - 15.75

B = 141.75

Therefore,

B is equal to 141.75
