Answer:

The correct answer is B. 33 1/3%.

Explanation:

Given that A's salary is 50% more than B's, to determine how much percent is B's salary less than A's, the following calculation must be performed:

Salary A = B + 50

Salary B = 100

Salary A = 100 + 50 = 150

150 = 100

100 = X

100 x 100/150 = X

10,000 / 150 = X

66.666 = X

100 - 66,666 = 33,333
