Question

A is 25 percent more than B. B is how much percent less than A?

A.

25

B.

20

C.

15

D.

17.5

Correct option is B

According to question,
Let the price of B = x
A = B + 25% of B = x + 0.25x = 1.25x

Percentage less=ABA×100\text{Percentage less} = \frac{A - B}{A} \times 100

Substitute the values of A and B:\text{Substitute the values of } A \text{ and } B:

Percentage less=1.25xx1.25x×100=0.25x1.25x×100\text{Percentage less} = \frac{1.25x - x}{1.25x} \times 100 = \frac{0.25x}{1.25x} \times 100

Simplifying:Percentage less=0.251.25×100=0.2×100=20%\text{Simplifying:} \quad \text{Percentage less} = \frac{0.25}{1.25} \times 100 = 0.2 \times 100 = 20\%​​​
