Question

Two num ate respectively 20% and 50% more than a third number.What percentage is the first of the second

Answer 1

Answer:

let us assume the third number be 100 because in percentages its better to assume the whole part as 100 for easier calculations and understanding.

as the first and second number are based on the third number let us assume the third number as 100.

first number = 20% more than third number = 20%of 100+100=120

second number=50% more than third number=50%of 100+100=150

now%=120/150=0.80*100=80%
