If a is 50% larger than c and b is 25% larger than c, then a is
what percent larger than b?
2 answers
a=1.5c and b=1.25c, then
c=a/1.5 and c=b/1.25
therefore a/1.5 = b/1.25
a = 1.5b/1.25
a = 1.2 b
so a is 20% larger than b
c=a/1.5 and c=b/1.25
therefore a/1.5 = b/1.25
a = 1.5b/1.25
a = 1.2 b
so a is 20% larger than b
