Answer:
37.5% less than B
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that B is 60% more than A.
- A (160%) = B
- A = B / (160%)
- A = B / (8/5)
- A = 5B/8
- A = 0.625B
- A = (62.5%) B
Since A is 62.5% of B, it is 37.5% less than B.
Answer:
A. 37.5% less than B
Step-by-step explanation:
We can write an equation to model this:
B being 60% more than A means that:
B=0.6A+1A
B=1.6A
Let's isolate A.
A=B/1.6
Multiply the top and bottom by 10 to get whole numbers
A=10B/16
Simplify
A=5B/8
5/8 = 62.5%
A=0.625B
Therefore, A is 62.5% of B
This means that A is 37.5% less than B.
