The correct Answer is:
To find out by what percentage C's savings is more than A's savings, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Assume C's Savings Let's assume C's savings is `100` (in any currency). ### Step 2: Calculate B's Savings Since B's savings is `20%` less than C's savings, we can calculate B's savings as follows: - 20% of C's savings = 20% of 100 = 20 - Therefore, B's savings = C's savings - 20% of C's savings = 100 - 20 = `80`. ### Step 3: Calculate A's Savings A's savings is `30%` less than B's savings. We can calculate A's savings as follows: - 30% of B's savings = 30% of 80 = 24 - Therefore, A's savings = B's savings - 30% of B's savings = 80 - 24 = `56`. ### Step 4: Find the Difference Between C's and A's Savings Now, we need to find out how much more C's savings is compared to A's savings: - C's savings = 100 - A's savings = 56 - Difference = C's savings - A's savings = 100 - 56 = `44`. ### Step 5: Calculate the Percentage Increase To find the percentage by which C's savings is more than A's savings, we use the formula: \[ \text{Percentage Increase} = \left( \frac{\text{Difference}}{\text{A's Savings}} \right) \times 100 \] Substituting the values: \[ \text{Percentage Increase} = \left( \frac{44}{56} \right) \times 100 \] ### Step 6: Simplify the Calculation Calculating the above expression: - \(\frac{44}{56} = 0.7857\) - Therefore, \(0.7857 \times 100 \approx 78.57\%\). ### Conclusion C's savings is approximately `78.57%` more than A's savings. ---
