$p$ is six times as large as $q$. The percent that $q$ is less than $p$, is
(a)$16 \frac{2}{3}$
(b)60
(c)$83 \frac{1}{3}$
(d)90
Answer
Explanation
$p=6 q$. So, $q$ is less than $p$ by $5 q$. ∴ Required percentage $$=\left(\frac{5 q}{p} \times 100\right) \%=\left(\frac{5 q}{6 q} \times 100\right) \%=83 \frac{1}{3} \% .$$
