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) CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO SOLUTION
