$\large \color{black}{\begin{align}
& \dfrac{p-q}{q}=\dfrac{1}{5}\hspace{.33em}\~\
\end{align}}$

hartnn · Answer

oh so you know....
i was gonna ask you to apply invertendo first, and then dividendo :P

mathmath333 · Answer

$\large \color{black}{\begin{align}
& \dfrac{q-p}{p}=\dfrac{-1}{6}\hspace{.33em}\~\
\end{align}}$

hartnn · Answer

because we want,

how much % is q less/more than p,
so we need
$\large \dfrac{p-q}{p}$

hartnn · Answer

yeah, good

hartnn · Answer

to get the % just multiply that result by 100 :)

mathmath333 · Answer

$\large \color{black}{\begin{align}
& \dfrac{p-q}{p}=16.66\cdots \%\hspace{.33em}\~\
\end{align}}$

hartnn · Answer

yep so, q is 16.67% less than p :)
