Swati's salary is 30% more than Ajay's salary. By what approximate percentage is Ajay's salary less than Swati's salary?
23%
Let Ajay's salary be 100 units.
Since Swati's salary is 30% more than Ajay's, Swati's salary = 100 + 30 = 130 units.
To find by what percentage Ajay's salary is less than Swati's, we calculate the difference relative to Swati's salary: difference = 130 - 100 = 30.
Percentage = (30/130) × 100 ≈ 23.08%.
Therefore, Ajay's salary is approximately 23% less than Swati's salary.
