The charge for a single room at Hotel P is 25 percent less than the charge for a single room at Hotel R and 10 percent less than the charge for a single room at Hotel G. The charge for a single room at Hotel R is what percent greater than the charge for a single room at Hotel G?

Respuesta :

Answer:

16.67 % ( approx )

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the charge at hotel P,

Since, the charge at Hotel P is 25 percent less than the charge at Hotel R,

That is, (100-25)% of charge at hotel R = charge at hotel P

75% of charge at hotel R = x

⇒ Charge at hotel R = [tex]\frac{100x}{75}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{4x}{3}[/tex],

The charge at Hotel P is 10 percent less than the charge at Hotel G

(100-10)% of charge at hotel G = charge at hotel P

90% of charge at hotel G = x

⇒ Charge at hotel G = [tex]\frac{100 x}{90}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{10x}{9}[/tex],

[tex]\because \frac{\frac{4x}{3}-\frac{10x}{9}}{\frac{4x}{3}}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{\frac{12x-10x}{9}}{\frac{4x}{3}}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{\frac{2x}{9}}{\frac{4x}{3}}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{1}{6}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{100}{6}[/tex]

[tex]\approx 16.67\%[/tex]

Hence, the charge for a single room at Hotel R is approximately 16.67 % greater than the charge for a single room at Hotel G.
