Two numbers are respectively 25% and 40% less than a third number. What percent is the second of the first?
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:Let the no.be 100
No. less than 25% of 100= 75
And no. less than 40% of 100=60
Now x%of 75= 60
X=80%
Therefore, second no. is 80% of first one
The second number is 80% of the first number
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume the third number is 100 (ideal option since percent literally translates to per 100)
25% of 100 = (since 25% is just )
= 25
The first number is 25% less than the third number
The first number is found by subtracting 25% from the third number
= 100 - 25
= 75
40% of 100 =
= 40
The second number is 40% less than the third number
The second number is found by subtracting 40% from the third number
= 100 - 40
= 60
Now, let x be the percentage of the second number (60) to the first number (75)
∴ percentage of 60 in 75:
= x% 75 = 60
= * 75 = 60
= x =
= x =
= x = 80
or 80%
