Question

Lisa salary is 37.5% of paul salary which is 40%of peter salary.what percentage of pater salary is lisa salary?

Answer 1

let Peter's salary be 100

so Paul's salary = 40% of 100 = 40/100 × 100 = 40

Lisa's salary = 37.5% of 40 = (37.5 × 40) /100 = 15

percentage of  Lisa's with respect to peter salary = (Lisa's salary/peter's salary) × 100

= 15/100 × 100 = 15%

hence Lisa's salary is 15% of peter's salary
