Correct Answer: $9\frac{1}{11}$%


Solution : Given: The income of A is 10% more than the income of B. Let B's income be $x$% less than A's income.
Let the income of B be 100 units.
So, the income of A = (100 + 10) = 110 units
B's income is $x$% less than A's income.
Therefore, less percentage $x=\frac{10}{110}×100=\frac{100}{11}=9\frac{1}{11}$%.
Hence, the correct answer is $9\frac{1}{11}$%.
