Question

if two number are respectively 10% and 25% more than the third number then the first number is how much percent of second number

Answer 1

let 3rd number be 100
then 10% of 3rd number is 10
similarly 25% is 25
there fore 1st with 10% is 110
and 2nd number with 25% is 125
then 1st number is 15% less then 2nd number
therefore the ans is 15%

Answer 2

Answer:

88 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the third number,

Since, first number and second number are respectively 10% and 25% more than the third number,

⇒ First number = 110 % of x

$=\frac{110x}{100}=1.10x$

And, second number = 125 % of x

$=\frac{125x}{100}=1.25x$

Hence, the percentage of first number to the second number

$=\frac{\text{First number}}{\text{Second number}}\times 100$

$=\frac{1.10x}{1.25x}\times 100$

$=\frac{11000}{125}$

$=88\%$
