Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

1. Find the value of x:
100
x

×190=
100
x+10

×180−15
Multiply the entire equation by 100 to clear the denominators:

190x=180(x+10)−1500
190x=180x+1800−1500
10x=300⟹x=30
Evaluate the two required terms:

First Term: (x+30)% of 90=(30+30)% of 90=60% of 90=54

Second Term: x% of 150=30% of 150=45

Calculate the percentage difference:

Required Percentage=
45
54−45

×100=

×100=

×100=20%
