If L is 3 times more than M, then M is what percentage less than L?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 75 percent.
L is 3 times more than M. This means that:
⇒ L = M + 3M = 4M
⇒ L = 4M
Percentage difference = (L - M) / (L) × 100
Percentage difference = (4M - M) / (4M) × 100 = (3M) / (4M) × 100 = (3)/(4) × 100 = 75%
