A housewife saved Rs. 2.50 in buying an item on sale. If she spent Rs. 25 for the item, approximately how much percent she saved in the transaction

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

It means that 0.08% of x = 2
\begin{aligned}
=> ( \frac{8}{100 \times 100} \times x) = 2 \\
=> x = \frac{2 \times 100 \times 100}{8} \\
=> x = 2500
\end{aligned}

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let the total number is x,
then,

(100-25)% of (100 - 10)% x = 4050
=> 75% of 90% of x = 4050
=> 75/100 * 90/100 * x = 4050
=> x = (4050*50)/27 = 6000

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Let the origianl salary = Rs. 100

It will be 150% of (50% of 100)
= (150/100) * (50/100) * 100 = 75

So New salary is 75, It means his loss is 25%

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Actual Price = Rs.25 + Rs.2.50 = Rs.27.5

Saving = Rs.2.5

\begin{aligned}\text{Percentage Saving = }\dfrac{2.5}{27.5}\times 100 \\
= \dfrac{250}{27.5} = \dfrac{2500}{275}\\
= \dfrac{100}{11} = 9\dfrac{1}{11}\% \approx 9\%\end{aligned}

Answer: Option D
