A's income is $35\%$ more than that of B. How many percent is B's income less than that of A?

Answer:

$25.93\%$

Step by Step Explanation:

Let B's income be $₹ 100$ .

Then, A's income = $₹ 135$ .

If A's income is $₹ 135$ , then B's income = $₹ 100$ .

If A's income is $₹ 100$ , then B's income = $₹ \bigg( \dfrac { 100 } { 135 } \times 100 \bigg) = ₹ 74.07$ .
Thus, if A's income is $₹ 100$ , then B's income = $₹ 74.07$ .

Therefore, B's income is less than that of A by $\dfrac { (100 - 74.07) } { 100 } \times 100\% =25.93\%$ .

Hence, B's income is less than that of A by $25.93\%$ .
