Question

pat's income is 20% more than Adam how much percentage is Adam's income less than pat's​

Answer 1

Answer:

The actual solution is trivial.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let pat be - A and Adam be - B

A = 20% more than B

100% of A = 20% of B+ 100% of B

100% of A = 120% of B.

(100/120) % of A = 1% of B

(100*100 /120)% of A = 100% of B

~83.33 % of A = 100% of B

So, B is ~(100 - 83.33) = 16.67% less than A.

Of course, I'm amusing here that when you said "A is 20% more than B," You meant A is 20% less than B with respect to B, and so on....
