y exceeds x by 15%.
∴ y = 1.15x
x = y/1.15
Required percentage $(= \frac{{y - \frac{y}{{1.15}}}}{y} \times 100 = \frac{{1.15 - 1}}{{1.15}} \times 100 = 13\frac{1}{{23}})$
∴ y = 1.15x
x = y/1.15
Required percentage $(= \frac{{y - \frac{y}{{1.15}}}}{y} \times 100 = \frac{{1.15 - 1}}{{1.15}} \times 100 = 13\frac{1}{{23}})$
