If the salary of A is 12% more than that of B, then by what percentage is the salary of B less than that of A? [Give your answer correct to 1 place of decimal.]
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 10.7%.
Calculations:
Let the salary of B = 100
Then the salary of A = 12% of 100 + 100 = 112
The difference between the salary of A and B = 12
Thus, the required percentage = (12/112) × 100 = 10.71%
