Rajan’s monthly income is 20% more than the monthly income of Sarita. What per cent of Sarita’s income is less than Rajan’s monthly income?

Verified Answer

Let the monthly income of Sarita be ₹ 100.

Rajan’s monthly income

= Rs [100(1+20/100)] = Rs (100 × 120)/100 = Rs 120

Now, Sarita’s monthly income is less than the monthly income of Raj an by = ₹ 120 – ₹ 100 = ₹ 20

Per cent of less in Rajan’s monthly income

= (20 × 100)/120 = 50/3% = 16 2/3%

Hence, the required per cent = 16 2/3%
