Answer 2

Dear Student,

● Answer -

y is 25% more than x.

● Explanation -

# Given -

x = (100-20)% of y

x = 80% of y

# Solution -

We have,

x = 80% of y

x = 80/100 × y

y = x × 100/80

y = x × 1.25 × 100%

y = x × 125%

y = 125% of x

Hence, y is 125-100 = 25% more than x.

Thanks dear. Hope this helps you...
