Wait no more Let the 2nd number =50 From the question, the 1st number is 20% more than the 2nd number, ie [20/100 * 50=10] Therefore the 1st number, 50+10= 60 Now the 2nd number is 10 less than the 1st. How much percent is 10 from 60? Converting to % we have [10/60 * 100] =16.666667. |

let first number= x. the second number =y. then x is 20% greater than y gives x= 20%y |
