If A is 40% less than B and C is 40% of the sum of A and B, then by what percentage is B greater than C?

Solution (By Examveda Team)

$$\eqalign{ & {\text{C}} = \left( {{\text{A}} + {\text{B}}} \right) \times 40\% \cr & = \frac{{160 \times 40}}{{100}} \cr & = 64 \cr & {\text{B is more than C}} \cr & = \frac{{36}}{{64}} \times 100 \cr & = 56\frac{1}{4}\% \cr} $$
