Question:

If A's income is 12 % more than B's income, B's income is how much less than A's income?

Options:

9.70%

10.70%

11.70%

12.70%

Correct Answer:

10.70%

Explanation:

Let's assume income of B = 100. So, according to the question, A = 12% more than B's income, which amounts to be 112.

So,

A = 112 and B = 100

A - B = 12

B's income is \(\frac{12}{112 }\) x 100 = 10.71% less than A's income.
