Avinash has 20% less coins of different countries than Gaurav has.
Gaurav has 40% more such coins than Chetan has.
Concept used:
Application of percentage
Calculation:
Let Chetan has 100P coins.
So, the number of coins Gaurav has = 100P + (100P × 40%) = 140P
So, the number of coins Avinash has = 140P - (140P × 20%) = 112P
Now, the number of coins Chetan less has than Anivash = (112P - 100P) = 12P
Then,
the percentage = (12P/112P) × 100% ≈ 10.7%
∴ By 10.7% the number of coins that Chetan has is less than the number of coins that Avinash has.
