Say B's salary is 100     then A's salary is 140  

100 is how much less than 140?    40   

40 less is what percentage of 140?

    40/140 x 100 = 28.57 % Less

if b salary is 100 that a salary would be 140

 

10% of 140 is 14.

50% is 70

20% is 28

 

70% is 98

 

the awswer would be something like 72 to how much procent b salary is of 140.

 

the awswer to your question is something like 28%

 

so it has to be C
