Question

Ben, Fran and Stan are posting funny memes online. Ben's funny memes got 40% more likes than Stan's. Fran's got 20% fewer likes than Stan's. By what percentage did Ben get more likes than Fran?

Answer 1

Answer:

60%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Ben, Fran and Stan post funny memes online.

Benny got 40% more likes than Stans's

Fran got 20% fewer likes than Stan's

Let x % be that of Stan's

Then Ben's likes would be x+40 %

and Fran's likes would be x-20%

Difference = x+40-(x-20) = 60

Hence put to gether we can say that

Ben got 40-(-20) = 60% more likes than Fran
