If A's income is 40 percent less than B's income, then by how much percent is B's income more than A's income?

A65.66

B64.66

C66.66 ✓ Correct

D55.66

Correct answer: (C) 66.66

Explanation

B's income exceeds A's by 66.66%.

Let B = 100, then A = 100 - 40 = 60.

Excess of B over A = 100 - 60 = 40.

Percentage = (40 / 60) x 100.

This equals 66.66%.
