Question

Paul's salary is 66.67% of Peter's salary which in turn is 33.33% of Adam's salary. What percentage of Adam's salary is Peter's salary?e Win

Answer 1

22.221111% of Adam's salary is Peter's salary.

Explanation

Suppose, Adam's salary is $x$

As Peter's salary is 33.33% of Adam's salary, so Peter's salary will be:  $x*\frac{33.33}{100}= 0.3333x$

Now Paul's salary is 66.67% of Peter's salary. So, Paul's salary will be:  $0.3333x*\frac{66.67}{100}=0.22221111x$

So, the ratio of Paul's salary to Adam's salary $=\frac{0.22221111x}{x}= 0.22221111$

Thus, the percentage will be:  $0.22221111*100\% = 22.221111\%$
