\n" ); document.write( "When working with problems involving one number being x percent more than another or x percent less than another, work with the fractions that correspond to the given percentages.

\n" ); document.write( "If Leo's income is 25% more than Jack's, then the fraction of Jack's income that represents Leo's income is \"%28100%2B25%29%2F100=125%2F100=5%2F4\".

\n" ); document.write( "Since Leo's income is 5/4 of Jack's, Jack's income is 4/5 of Leo's.

\n" ); document.write( "Now convert back to percents. 4/5 is 80%, which is 20% less than 100%. So Jack's income is 20% less than Leo's.

\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: 20%
