If liana earns 40 more than caleb what percent less does caleb earn than liana?

Answer 1

If Liana earns 40 more than Caleb, we can express Caleb's earnings as ( C ) and Liana's as ( C + 40 ). To find the percentage less that Caleb earns than Liana, we use the formula:

[ \text{Percentage less} = \left( \frac{\text{Difference}}{\text{Liana's earnings}} \right) \times 100 = \left( \frac{40}{C + 40} \right) \times 100. ]

So, Caleb earns approximately ( \frac{40}{C + 40} \times 100 ) percent less than Liana, which will vary depending on Caleb's earnings.
