Two numbers are less than a third number by 30% and 37%, respectively. By what percentage is the second number less than the first?
Given:
- Two numbers are less than a third number by 30% and 37%, respectively.
Solution::
Let the third number (original value) be 100.
First Number = 100 - 30% of 100 = 70
Second Number = 100 - 37% of 100 = 63
Difference between First and Second Numbers = 70 - 63 = 7
Percentage by which the second number is less than the first = (7 / 70) × 100
= 10%
The second number is 10% less than the first number.
