Solution

Let's solve this step by step:

  1. Let's assume the salary of B is 100 units.
  2. Therefore, the salary of A is 20% lower than B's salary, which is 80 units.
  3. The salary of C is 56.25% greater than A's salary. So, C's salary is 80 units + 56.25% of 80 units = 125 units.
  4. Now, we need to find out by how much percent the salary of B is less than the salary of C.
  5. The difference between C's and B's salary is 25 units (125 - 100).
  6. To find out this difference as a percentage of C's salary, we divide the difference by C's salary and multiply by 100. So, (25/125) * 100 = 20%.

So, the salary of B is 20% less than the salary of C.
