hint: we have to solve this equation: \[40 = 50 - \frac{p}{{100}} \cdot 50\]

OpenStudy (mathmale):

p is what percent less than q, when p=40 and q=50? 1. Find the difference between p and q (by subtraction). 2. Divide this quantity by q (since we're comparing p to q). 3. Multiply your result by 100%. Your result should be negative.
