If X is 12.25% more than Y, then Y is approximately _______ less than X.

Options
a) 3%
b) 10.9%
c) 12%
d) 15.6%

Solution

As per question
Let’s assume that y = 100
If X is more than Y = 100 + \frac {12.25}{100} \times 100 = 112.25
Y is less than X = 112.25 – 100 =12.25
In Percentage
Y = \frac {12.25}{112.25} \times 100 = \frac {4900}{449} = 10.9%

Answer : 10.9%
