The income of A is 80% more than that of B, and the income of C is 25% more than 20% of the combined income of A and B. By what percentage is the income of C less than the income of A?(correct to one decimal place)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 61.1%.
Calculations:
According to the question;
Let the income of B = 100
Income of A = 180% of 100 = 180
Income of C = 125% of (20% of (A + B))
⇒ 125% of (20% of 280)
⇒ 125% of 56
⇒ 70
Required percent = ((A - C)/A) × 100
⇒ ((180 - 70)/180) × 100 = 61.1%
