Answer:

A. 37.5% less than B

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write an equation to model this:

B being 60% more than A means that:

B=0.6A+1A

B=1.6A

Let's isolate A.

A=B/1.6

Multiply the top and bottom by 10 to get whole numbers

A=10B/16

Simplify

A=5B/8

5/8 = 62.5%

A=0.625B

Therefore, A is 62.5% of B

This means that A is 37.5% less than B.

Answer:

<u>37.5% less than B</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that B is 60% more than A.

  • A (160%) = B
  • A = B / (160%)
  • A = B / (8/5)
  • A = 5B/8
  • A = 0.625B
  • A = (62.5%) B

Since A is 62.5% of B, it is <u>37.5% less than B</u>.

spayn [35]

Answer: There are 32 students who like brussels sprouts but dislike beans.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of students eat in the cafeteria = 120

Fraction dislike lime beans = \dfrac{2}{3}

Fraction who dislike lime beans and brussles sprouts both = \dfrac{2}{3}\times \dfrac{3}{5}

Fraction who dislikes lime beans but not brussles is given by

\dfrac{2}{3}(1-\dfrac{3}{5})\\\\=\dfrac{2}{3}\times \dfrac{2}{5}\\\\=\dfrac{4}{15}

So, Number of students who like brussels sprouts but dislike lima beans is given by

\dfrac{4}{15}\times 120\\\\=32

Hence, there are 32 students who like brussels sprouts but dislike beans.
