EVALUATION

Here it is given that the price of a Jason phone is 20% more than that of a Franklin phone

Let Price of Franklin phone = 100

Then price of a Jason phone = 100 + 20 = 120

So the price of Franklin phone less than that of a Jason phone = 120 - 100 = 20

Hence the required percentage is the price of a Franklin phone less than that of a Jason phone

$\displaystyle \sf{ = \frac{20}{120} \times 100 \: \%}$

$\displaystyle \sf{ = \frac{100}{6} \: \%}$

$\displaystyle \sf{ = 16.66 \: \%}$
