GMAT Question of the day

A is greater than B by 15%. B is greater than C by 7 (1/2) %. Find the value of A
when C = 92.
(a) 112.53 (b) 113.73 (c) 114.33 (d) 115.15

A is greater than B by 15% So A = 1.15 B
B is greater than C by 7 (1/2) % So B = 1.075 C
C = 92 (given), substitute the values & get B = 98.9
which implies A = 113.735
