The percent of the cost of a pair of Floating Jumps is a pair of Ground Morgans is 48% Expensive.

Explanation:

Let the cost of Ground Morgans be 100

Cost of Ground Morgans = Cost of Elite Butterflies - 20% Cost of Elite Butterflies

100 = 0.8 X Cost of Elite Butterflies

125 = Cost of Elite Butterflies

Similarly,

Cost of Cloud Trainers = 96.15

Cost of Floating Jumps = 192.3

Hence % of Floating Jumps to Ground Morgans = (192.3 - 100) / 192.3 = 47.99 = 48%
