Question : If A is 48% more than B and C is 60% less than the sum of A and B, then A is what percentage more than C? (Correct to one decimal place.)
Option 1: 50.8
Option 2: 49.2
Option 3: 50.2
Option 4: 49.8
Correct Answer: 49.2
Solution :
Given: A is 48% more than B and C is 60% less than the sum of A and B.
Let the value of B be 100.
Then, the value of A = $100\times \frac{148}{100}$ = 148
According to the question,
C = 40% of (A + B)
⇒ C = 40% of (148 + 100)
⇒ C = $\frac{40}{100} \times 248$ = 99.2
A is more than C by 148 – 99.2 = 48.8
So, the required percentage = $\frac{48.8}{99.2}\times 100$ = 49.2%
Hence, the correct answer is 49.2.
