Two numbers are respectively 20% and 25% more than a third number. The percentage that is first of the second is?

96%

NA

Solution:

Let the third number be 'x'.

Given: First number is 20% more than x,

So, First number = (20/100)x + x = 0.2x + x = 1.2x

Second number is 25% more than x,

So, Second number= (25/100)x + x = 0.25x +x = 1.25x

Let the first number be y% of second number,so,

y = (1.2x/1.25x)×100

y = 0.96 × 100

y = 96%

So, the correct option is C). 96%
