\(\dfrac{p}{q}=\dfrac{6}{5}\)
\(q\) is what \(\%\) more/less than \(p\ \) ?
hartnn (hartnn):
do you know about "dividendo" ?
OpenStudy (mathmath333):
\(\large \color{black}{\begin{align}
& \dfrac{p-q}{q}=\dfrac{1}{5}\hspace{.33em}\\~\\
\end{align}}\)
hartnn (hartnn):
oh so you know....
i was gonna ask you to apply invertendo first, and then dividendo :P

because we want,
how much % is q less/more than p,
so we need
\(\large \dfrac{p-q}{p}\)
hartnn (hartnn):
yeah, good
hartnn (hartnn):
to get the % just multiply that result by 100 :)
OpenStudy (mathmath333):
\(\large \color{black}{\begin{align}
& \dfrac{p-q}{p}=16.66\cdots \%\hspace{.33em}\\~\\
\end{align}}\)
hartnn (hartnn):
yep so, q is 16.67% less than p :)
