Question

if y is 25% less than x is, what percent more than y?

Answer 1

let y=75 x=100
then 75x/100=100
100*100/75=400/3=133.33
i.e.more than x by 33.33

Answer 2

Answer:

You have said if Y is 25% less than X.

Step-by-step explanation:

Now if we assume  that X = 100

Then y is 25 percent less than X

We find 25 percent of X = 25 / 100 x 100 = 25.

As Y is less by 25 % as compared to X, so Y = 100 – 25 = 75.

Now the vice versa of the same question that you have asked….what percent is X more than Y.

So if Y is 75, we need to know what percent of X is 75.

It is obvious that X is more than Y by 25 percent.
