If two numbers are respectively 30% and 40% more than a third number, what percent is the first of the second?

a) 80%
b) $$92\frac{6}{7}\% $$
c) 75%
d) $$84\frac{4}{5}\% $$

Answer: b
Explanation: Let the third number be 100. Then,
1st number = 130
2nd number = 140
% 1st number to the 2nd number
$$\eqalign{ & = \frac{{130 \times 100}}{{140}} \cr & = \frac{{650}}{7} \cr & = 92\frac{6}{7}\% \cr} $$
