If a exceeds b by x%, then which one of the following equations is correct ?
A. $$a - b = \frac{x}{100}$$
B. $$b = a + 100x$$
C. $$a = \frac{bx}{100 + x}$$
D. $$a = b + \frac{bx}{100}$$
Answer: Option D
Solution (By Examveda Team)
A exceeds b by x%⇒ a = b + x% of b
⇒ a = b +$$\frac{bx}{100}$$
This Question Belongs to Arithmetic Ability >> Percentage
Here didn’t say that a exceeds of b by x% of b but why take you x% of b??
