hello your answer is 15%

Answer 2

Given: Two numbers respectively 25% and 40% more than a third number.

To find: We have to find what percentage is the second of the first number.

Solution:

Let the third number be 100.

The two numbers are respectively 25% and 40% more than a third number.

So, the first number is 100+25=125 and the second number is 100+40=140.

Let the second number be x% of the first number.

So, we can write-

$140 \times \frac{x}{100} = 125 \\ x = \frac{125 \times 100}{140} \\ x = 89.28$

The value of x is 89.28.

Thus the second number is 89.28% of the first number.
