Sachin’s income is 25% more than Dileep’s income. By how much percentage is Dileep’s income less than Sachin’s income ?
Let the income of Sachin = S
Income of Dileep = D
Given, Sachin's income is 25% more than Dileep's income
$$=$$> $$\text{S}=\frac{125}{100}\text{D}$$
$$=$$> $$\text{S}=\frac{5}{4}\text{D}$$
$$\therefore\ $$Required Percentage = $$\frac{S-D}{S}\times100$$
= $$\frac{\frac{5}{4}D-D}{\frac{5}{4}D}\times100$$
= $$\frac{\frac{D}{4}}{\frac{5D}{4}}\times100$$
= $$\frac{1}{5}\times100$$
= 20%
$$\therefore\ $$Dileep's income is 20% less than Sachin's income
