Question

If x is 20% greater than y, then how much percent y is less than x

Answer 1

Answer:

=16.67

Step-by-step explanation:

x = y

x is 100%

y is 100%

100% = 100%

If x is 20% greater than y

x is 100%+20%

y is 100%

x =120%

y =100%

how much percent y is less than x ?

y =x*120/100

y =x*6/5

x =y*5/6

x =5*100/6

x =500/6

x =250/3

x =83.33

Percentage less = 100 - 83.33

=16.67
