If A’s salary is 50% more than that of B, then by what percentage is B's salary less than that of A?

Correct option is C

Given:

A’s salary is 50% more than that of B

Formula used:

​$$\text{Percentage Increment} = \frac{\text{New Value} - \text{Original Value}}{\text{Original Value}} \times 100$$​​

Solution:

let salary of B=100

so salary of A= 100 +50% of B salary 

=100+50%0f 100

                    =150

B salary percentage to A salary = $$\frac{B salary}{A salary }\times 100$$

                                                   =$$\frac{100}{150}\times100$$

                                                    =66.66%  

so, B salary less than A salary =100% -66.66%

                                                =33.33% =$$33\frac{1}{3}$$%​
