Answer:
A
Explanation:
If the smaller number is 100, the first number is 120,
and the percentage that the smaller number is less than the greater number can be calculated by taking 20% of the first number and dividing it by the first number,
and then multiplying the result by 100%.
This gives a result of approximately 16 2/3%."
