1. Break Down the Problem

We need to find what percentage B's salary is less than A's salary given that A's salary is 50% more than B's.

2. Relevant Concepts

Let:

• $B$ = B's salary
• $A$ = A's salary

Given:
$A = B + 0.5B = 1.5B$

We need to find the percentage that $B$ is less than $A$: $\text{Percentage less} = \left( \frac{A - B}{A} \right) \times 100$

3. Analysis and Detail

Substituting $A$: $\text{Percentage less} = \left( \frac{1.5B - B}{1.5B} \right) \times 100$ $= \left( \frac{0.5B}{1.5B} \right) \times 100$ $= \left( \frac{0.5}{1.5} \right) \times 100$ $= \left( \frac{1}{3} \right) \times 100 \approx 33.33\%$

4. Verify and Summarize

The calculation shows that B's salary is approximately $33.33\%$ less than A's salary.

Final Answer

B's salary is 33% less than A's salary.
