Two numbers are, respectively, 28 percent and 25 percent less than a third number. What percent is the first number of the second number?

A104.6%

B90%

C92%

D96% ✓ Correct

Correct answer: (D) 96%

Explanation

The first is 96% of the second.

First = 0.72T, second = 0.75T for third number T.

Ratio = 0.72T / 0.75T = 0.72 / 0.75.

This equals 0.96.

So the first is 96% of the second.
