GIVEN

Two numbers are less than third number by 50% and 54% respectively.

TO FIND

By how much percentage is second number less than first number?

SOLUTION

We can simply solve the above problem as follows;

Let the first number = 100

So,

First number = 100-50% of 100 = 100-50 = 50

Second number = 100-54% of 100 = 100-54 = 46

Difference between First and second number = 50-46 = 4

Percentage difference between the numbers = (4/50)× 100 = 8%

Hence, The answer is 8%
