Answer 2

Answer:

Y is 37.5 per cent less than X

Step-by-step explanation:

X is 60 per cent more than Y

=> X = Y + 60% of Y

=> X = Y + 0.6*Y ................(∵ a% = a/100)

=> X = (1 + 0.6)*Y

=> X = 1.6*Y

=> Y = (1/1.6)*X

=> Y = (0.625)*X

=> Y = (1 - 0.375)*X

=> Y = X - 0.375*X

=> Y = X - (37.5/100)*X

=> Y = X - 37.5% of X

=> Y is 37.5 per cent less than X
