If y is 30% more than x, then x is how much percent less than y?
Answers
Answer:
if y is 30% more than x, then x is also 30% less than y
Answer:
23.07 %.
Step-by-step explanation:
take “X” = 100, then “Y” will be 130 (since Y exceeds X by 30%).
“X” is less than “Y” by 23.07 %.
Explanation :
Meaning of 30% is, 30 per cent,
i.e. 30 for every 100.
X as base : Let's assume that “X” has 100 chocolates, then “Y” should have 130( as Y has 30% more than X). Here we have taken “X” as base or reference.
Y as base : Now “X” is having 30 chocolates less than “Y”. To represent this “30” in %, we have to take “Y” as base or reference.
By how much % : That means for every 130 chocolates of “Y”, “X” has 30 less, then how many will “X” have if “Y” had 100 chocolates? (we have taken “Y” as reference i.e. 100 ).
The answer would be 23.07 %.
Answer : That means, if “Y” has 100 chocolates then “X” will have 76.93(100–23.07).
