Two numbers are less than third number by 34% and 37% respectively. How much percent is the second number less than by the first
Answer/Solution
22%
Steps/Work
Let the third number is x.
then first number = (100-34)% of x
= 66% of x = 66x/100
Second number is (63x/100)
Difference = 66x/100 - 63x/100 = 3x/100
So required percentage is, difference is what percent of first number
(3x/100 * 100/63x * 100 )% = 22% ANSWER :E
then first number = (100-34)% of x
= 66% of x = 66x/100
Second number is (63x/100)
Difference = 66x/100 - 63x/100 = 3x/100
So required percentage is, difference is what percent of first number
(3x/100 * 100/63x * 100 )% = 22% ANSWER :E
