Question

Two numbers are 26 percent and 5 percent more than the third. What percentage is the first of the second?

Answer 1

Answer:

120% of second

Step-by-step explanation:

say one number is 126

and second one is 105

so 126 is (126/105)*100

=1.2*100

=120

of second number

Answer 2

Answer:

The first is 120% of second.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose third number is x,

∵ First number is 26% more than third number,

So, first number = x + 26% of x

$=x + \frac{26x}{100}$

$=x + 0.26x$

= 1.26x,

Also, if second number is 5% more than third number,

So, second number = x + 5% of x

$=x +\frac{5x}{100}$

$=x + 0.05x$

$=1.05x$

Now,

$\frac{1.26x}{1.05x}\times 100=\frac{12600}{105}=120\%$

Hence, the first is 120% of second.
