Correct Answer :

Solution :

The correct option is 75%.

From the given line graph, we can extract the number of HP and Dell laptops sold on Wednesday and Thursday:

On Wednesday:
Number of HP laptops sold = 60
Number of Dell laptops sold = 30

On Thursday:
Number of HP laptops sold = 50
Number of Dell laptops sold = 80

Let the price of a Dell laptop be PDell=x.

Since the price of an HP laptop is 20% more than that of a Dell laptop, we have:

PHP=x+0.20x=1.2x

Now, let's calculate the total amount earned on Wednesday and Thursday:

Amount earned on Wednesday:
AmountWed=(60×1.2x)+(30×x)
AmountWed=72x+30x=102x

Amount earned on Thursday:
AmountThu=(50×1.2x)+(80×x)
AmountThu=60x+80x=140x

We need to find what percentage the amount earned on Wednesday is of the amount earned on Thursday:

Percentage=(102x136x)×100

Wait, looking at the graph carefully for Wednesday HP laptops, the point is at 60 (or slightly below at 60). Let's re-verify: 102136=0.75 which is 75%.

Thus, the required percentage is:

Required Percentage=75%
