Question

City A is 25% less than population of city B so city A's population is what % of city B

Answer 1

City A is 25% less than population of city B. So city A's population is 75% of city B

Solution:

Given that City A is 25% less than population of city B

To find: city A's population is what % of city B

From given information,

City A is 25% less than population of city B

A = B - 25% of B

So we can write as,

$A = B - \frac{25}{100} \times B\\\\A = B - 0.25B\\\\A = 0.75B$

A = 0.75B can be written as,

$A = \frac{75}{100}\times B$

city A = 75 % of City B

Thus city A's population is 75% of city B
