The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to determine how much percent B's income is more than A's income, given that A's income is 40% less than B's income. ### Step 1: Define B's Income Let B's income be represented as \( B \). ### Step 2: Calculate A's Income Since A's income is 40% less than B's income, we can express A's income as: \[ A = B - 0.4B = 0.6B \] This means A's income is 60% of B's income. ### Step 3: Determine the Difference in Income Now, we need to find out how much more B's income is compared to A's income. The difference in income is: \[ B - A = B - 0.6B = 0.4B \] ### Step 4: Calculate the Percentage Increase To find out how much percent B's income is more than A's income, we use the formula for percentage increase: \[ \text{Percentage Increase} = \left( \frac{\text{Difference}}{\text{A's Income}} \right) \times 100 \] Substituting the values we have: \[ \text{Percentage Increase} = \left( \frac{0.4B}{0.6B} \right) \times 100 \] ### Step 5: Simplify the Expression The \( B \) cancels out: \[ \text{Percentage Increase} = \left( \frac{0.4}{0.6} \right) \times 100 = \left( \frac{4}{6} \right) \times 100 = \left( \frac{2}{3} \right) \times 100 \] ### Step 6: Calculate the Final Result Now, calculating \( \frac{2}{3} \times 100 \): \[ \text{Percentage Increase} = \frac{200}{3} \approx 66.67\% \] Thus, B's income is \( 66 \frac{2}{3}\% \) more than A's income. ### Final Answer B's income is \( 66 \frac{2}{3}\% \) more than A's income. ---
