[amp_mcq option1=”23.50%” option2=”22%” option3=”20%” option4=”18%” correct=”option1″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is (a) 23.5%.<\/p>\n
Let $A$ be the third number. Then $B$ is 15% less than $A$, so $B = 0.85A$. $C$ is 32% less than $A$, so $C = 0.68A$.<\/p>\n
To find the percentage by which $C$ is less than $B$, we can use the following formula:<\/p>\n
Percentage change = $\\frac{new – old}{old} \\times 100\\%$<\/p>\n
In this case, the new value is $C$ and the old value is $B$. So, the percentage change is:<\/p>\n
Percentage change = $\\frac{0.68A – 0.85A}{0.85A} \\times 100\\% = 23.5\\%$<\/p>\n
Therefore, $C$ is 23.5% less than $B$.<\/p>\n
Here is a brief explanation of each option:<\/p>\n
(a) 23.5%: This is the correct answer. It is calculated by using the formula above.
\n(b) 22%: This is incorrect. It is calculated by using the formula above, but with the wrong values.
\n(c) 20%: This is incorrect. It is calculated by using the formula above, but with the wrong values.
\n(d) 18%: This is incorrect. It is calculated by using the formula above, but with the wrong values.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
