To calculate the x percentage of a $= \frac{x}{100} *a$

Eg: $25$ percentage of $100 = \frac{25}{100} * 100 = 25$

Given:

• Let the salary of the Mr. Y is 100.

• The salary of Mr. X is 30% more than that of Mr. Y .

To Find:

• Percent of Mr. Y’s salary is less than Mr. X’s = ?

Solution:

Let the salary of the Mr. Y is $100$.

The salary of Mr. X is 30% more than that of Mr. Y $= 100 + 30 = 130$

Mr. Y's salary is less than the salary of Mr. X by $30$

$Percentage = \frac{x}{100} * a$

$Percentage = \frac{30}{130} * 100$

$Percentage = \frac{3}{13} * 100$

$Percentage = 23.076$

Hence, Mr. Y's salary is $23.076$ % less than Mr. X's salary.
