Back to paper

If A is 48% more than B and C is 60% less than the sum of A and B, then A is what percentage more than C? (Correct to one decimal place)

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

 The correct answer is Option 2 i.e.  49.2%

Understanding/Application

let, B = 100

then A = 100 + 48 = 148 [48% more than B]

Now, A + C = 100 + 148 = 248

C = (100 - 60)% of 248
= 40% of 248
= (248/100) 40 = 99.2

Difference between A and C = 148 - 99.2 = 48.8

A = (48.8/99.2)100 = 49.19% = 49.2%
