Solution

Sure, let's solve this step by step:

  1. Let's assume C's salary is 100(youcanchooseanyamount,but100 (you can choose any amount, but 100 makes the calculations easier).

  2. B's salary is 15% lower than C's salary. So, B's salary is 100 - 15 = $85.

  3. A's salary is 20% lower than B's salary. So, A's salary is 85 - (20/100)*85 = $68.

  4. Now, we need to find out how much percent is C's salary more than A's salary. The difference between C's and A's salary is 100 - 68 = $32.

  5. To find out this as a percentage of A's salary, we divide the difference by A's salary and multiply by 100. So, (32/68)*100 = 47.06%.

So, C's salary is approximately 47.06% more than A's salary.
