The difference between two numbers is 20% of the larger number and the smaller number is 20. By what percentage, the smaller number is smaller than the larger number?

The difference between two numbers is 20% of the larger number and the smaller number is 20. By what percentage, the smaller number is smaller than the larger number? Correct Answer 20

Let the larger number be x.

According to the question

x – 20 = x × (20/100)

x – 20 = x/5

x = 25

Hence, the larger number is 25.

Smaller number smaller than the larger number by = × 100 = 20%
