Answer 1

Answer:

106.6%

Explanation:

P is 25% less than Q

and R is 20% less than Q

To solve this we can give Q a value.

Let us say Q is 100% of a number,x.

P would be 100%-25% = 75%

and R would be 100% - 20% = 80%

To find what percent of P is R, we do $\frac{R}{P}$ × 100

= $\frac{80}{75}$ × 100 = $\frac{80}{3}$ × 4

=$\frac{320}{3}$ = 106.6%
