Given:
If X's income is 40% less than that of Y,
Y's income is approximately what percentage more than that of X?

Let Y's income = 100x
Then, X's income = 100x -
X's income = 100x - 40x
X's income = 60x
By ratio method,
X's income : Y's income
60x : 100x
3 : 5
Now, Y is 2 more than X
Hence,
=
= 66.66% aprrox 66.67%
Y's income is approximately 66.67% more than that of X.
