If A is 5 times more than B, then B is what percentage less than A?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Let B = 100.
A is 5 times more than B.
Therefore, A = 100 + 5(100) = 600
Percentage by which B is less than A:
= [(A − B) / A] × 100
= [(600 − 100) / 600] × 100
= (500/600) × 100
= 83.33%
Therefore, B is 83.33% less than A.
