Question

John income is 20% more than that the Mr Thomas how much percent is income of the Mr Thomas less than of John

Answer 1

Answer:

The income of the Mr Thomas is $16\frac{2}{3}$% less than of John.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that John income is 20% more than that the Mr Thomas.

Let the income of Mr Thomas be x. The income of Mr john is

$x+\frac{20}{100}x=x+0.2x=1.2x$

$P=\frac{\text{Income of thomas-Income of john}}{Income of john}\times 100$

$P=\frac{x-1.2x}{1.2x}\times 100$

$P=\frac{-0.2}{1.2x}\times 100$

$P=\frac{-1}{6}\times 100$

$P=-16\frac{2}{3}%$

Therefore the income of the Mr Thomas is $16\frac{2}{3}$% less than of John.

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the income of Mr. Thomas be 100

Jhon income = 120

% by which Mr Thomas income less than that of Jhon = (120 - 100 /120) ×100

(20/120) ×100 = 50/3% = 16 2/3
