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% — The answer is 96 percent.
Explanation
★The answer is 96 percent.
★Take the third number as 100.
★The first number is 28 percent less, which is 72, and the second is 25 percent less, which is 75.
★So the first as a percent of the second is 72 divided by 75, times 100.
★That is 96 percent.
★The other options do not match this value.
★So the answer is 96 percent.
