P is six times as large as Q
P is six times as large as Q. The percent that Q is less than P is
(a) 83 1/3% (b) 70% (c) 63 1/3 (d) 50%
SOLUTION 1:
P is six times as large as Q
Q is less than P by -
Therefore 6P=Q
Q= 6-1 = 5 smaller than P therefore 5/6 * 100
= 83 1/3 %
option (a)
SOLUTION 2:
For easy understanding let the Q as 100
Than P is 6 times as large as Q , therefore 6 * 100 = 600
Now how much Q is less than P = 600-100 = 500
Q is 500 less than 600 therefore in percentage
500/600*100
5/6* 100
= 83 1/3%
option (a)
