Let B's income is 100

A's income is B 100+20 = Rs.120

If A's income is Rs.100, the B's income is less by

Answer 2

Answer:

Adam's income is less than Pat's income by 16.66%.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Suppose Adam's income is 'x'.

        Pat's income is more that 20% of Adam's income.

        So, Pat's income = Adam's income + 20% of Adam's income

                                     = x + 20% of x

                                     =  x + $\frac{20x}{100}$ = x + $\frac{x}{5}$ = $\frac{6x}{5}$

• The difference between Pat's and Adam's income

                        =  Pat's income - Adam's income = $\frac{6x}{5}$ - x = $\frac{x}{5}$

   Percentage of the difference = $\frac{Difference in income}{Pat's income}$ × 100%

                                                    = $\frac{\frac{x}{5} }{\frac{6x}{5} }$  × 100%

                                                    = $\frac{1}{6}$ × 100% = 16.66%

∴ Adam's income is less than Pat's income by 16.66%.
