<PRE><B>Question 1062531</B>
tyler purchased at 200.
damon purchased at 160.
difference is 40.
40 / 160 = 4/16 = 1/4 = .25 = 25%
tyler paid 25% more than damon paid.
25% of 160 = 40.
40/200 = 4/20 = 1/5 = .2= 20%
damon paid 20% less than tyler paid.
20% of 200 = 40.
if you are looking for percent more than 160, then the difference is 40 and your denominator is 160.
if you are looking for percent less than 200, then the difference is 40 and your denominator is 200.
your solution is 25% more than 160 because you are looking for percent more than that damon paid.
