You can put this solution on YOUR website! if a's salary is 2%less than b, then by what percentage is b's salary more than a?
.
From: "a's salary is 2%less than b"
a = b - .02b
Factoring the right:
a = b(1 - .02)
a = b(.98)
a/.98 = b
.
From above, we see that:
b's salary is 1/.98 of a's salary
In percent, it would be:
1/.98 * 100
= 100/.98
= 102.04%
