12.7%

11.7%

10.7%

- Let's assume the salary of B is $100.

- Then, the salary of A would be $112, given it's 12% more than B's.

- To find out by what percentage B's salary is less than A's:

- Calculate the difference: $112 - $100 = $12.

- Divide the difference by A's salary: $12 / $112 = 0.1071.

- Convert to a percentage: 0.1071 x 100 = 10.7%.

- Thus, the correct percentage by which B's salary is less than A's is 10.7%.

- Option 4: 10.7% is correct.
