Q86
ArithmeticPercentage, Profit & Loss
If A's income is 40% less than that of B, how much percent is B's income more than that of A?
- a.60%
- b.40%
- c.$66\frac{2}{3}$%
- d.$33\frac{1}{3}$%
Answer: (C) $66\frac{2}{3}$%
Take B = 100; then A = 60. B exceeds A by 40, which as a percentage of A is 40 ÷ 60 × 100 = $66\frac{2}{3}$%. 40% wrongly measures the difference against B.
