Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

75%

75%

Solution :

Step 1: Read the values from the line graph

Wednesday:
HP laptops = 60
Dell laptops = 30

Thursday:
HP laptops = 50
Dell laptops = 80

Step 2: Let the price of one Dell laptop be Rs. 100.

Then, the price of one HP laptop = 20% more = Rs. 120.

Step 3: Find the earnings

Wednesday:
= (60 × 120) + (30 × 100)
= 7200 + 3000
= Rs. 10200

Thursday:
= (50 × 120) + (80 × 100)
= 6000 + 8000
= Rs. 14000

Step 4: Find the required percentage

Required Percentage = (10200 ÷ 14000) × 100

= 72.86%

Answer: 75% nearest
