Answer 1

37.5% is the answer to the question

Answer 2

$\fontsize{18}{10}{\textup{\textbf{The required percentage is 37.5 percent.}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represents the incomes of Manjul and Monika respectively.

Then, according to the given information, we have

$y=x+60\%\times x\\\\\Rightarrow y=x+\dfrac{60}{100}x\\\\\Rightarrow y=x+\dfrac{3}{5}x\\\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{8}{5}x\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{5}{8}y\\\\\Rightarrow x=y-\dfrac{3}{8}y\\\\\Rightarrow x=y-\dfrac{3}{8}\times100\%\times y\\\\\Rightarrow x=y-37.5\%\times y.$

Thus, Manjul's income is 37.5% less than that of Monika.
