If A is 6 times more than B, then B is what percentage less than A?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 85.71 percent.
Calculations:
A is 6 times more than B
If B = 1x, A = 7x
Hence, required percentage = [(A - B)/A] × 100
⇒ [(7x - 1x)/7x] × 100
⇒ (6x/7x) × 100
⇒ 85.71%
