Problem: the positive numbers w , x , y , and z are such that x is 25 percent greater than y , y is 20 percent greater than z , and w is 20 percent less than x . what percent greater than z is w ?
Rationale: "my strategy is same as thedobermanbut instead take z = 100 , which makes life a bit easy . as : z = 100 y = 120 ( 20 % greater than z ) z = 144 ( 20 % greater than y ) now calculate w 20 % less than z = 144 * 80 / 100 = 115.2 now by just looking , relation between w and z : w - z / z * 100 = 16.2 - answer b"
