The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to establish the relationships between the incomes of A, B, and C based on the given percentages. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define the Income of B**: Let the income of B be represented as \( B = x \). 2. **Calculate the Income of A**: Since A's income is 10% more than B's, we can express A's income as: \[ A = B + 10\% \text{ of } B = x + 0.1x = 1.1x \] 3. **Calculate the Income of C**: B's income is 20% less than C's income. Therefore, we can express C's income as: \[ B = C - 20\% \text{ of } C = C - 0.2C = 0.8C \] Rearranging this gives us: \[ C = \frac{B}{0.8} = \frac{x}{0.8} = 1.25x \] 4. **Establish the Ratios**: Now we have the incomes of A, B, and C in terms of \( x \): - \( A = 1.1x \) - \( B = x \) - \( C = 1.25x \) 5. **Express the Ratios**: To find the ratio of A, B, and C, we can express it as: \[ A : B : C = 1.1x : x : 1.25x \] Dividing each term by \( x \) simplifies this to: \[ A : B : C = 1.1 : 1 : 1.25 \] 6. **Convert to Whole Numbers**: To eliminate the decimals, we can multiply each term by 100 to convert them to whole numbers: \[ A : B : C = 110 : 100 : 125 \] 7. **Simplify the Ratio**: Now, we can simplify the ratio: - The GCD of 110, 100, and 125 is 5. - Dividing each term by 5 gives: \[ A : B : C = 22 : 20 : 25 \] ### Final Answer: The incomes of A, B, and C are in the ratio **22 : 20 : 25**. ---
