81%-33%=?, & 81%-22%=?, & which is bigger

81%-33%=48%

81%-22%=59%

59%>48%

33%>22%

Tricky question subject to interpretation

   is it     81% - 33 percentage points = 48 %

      or is it    81% - 33% OF 81% = 81 - .33(81) = 54. 27 %

Really does not matter....in this case you are subtracting a smaller number when you subtract 22%   vs 33% from 81

   so the SECOND one is the larger of the two.
