Answer 1

Answer:

16.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

let price of wheat be 100

then,

price of rice will be=20/100 ×100 +100

=120

now,

difference between their price =120-100

=20

Let the percent of wheat price less then rice price be x%

now ,

x% of 120=20

x/100× 120=20

x6/5=20

x= 20×5/6

x = 100/6

x= 16.6%
