14. 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 ?
A. 8% B.
9%
C. 10% D.
11%
Answer:
Actual price = Rs. (25 + 2.50)
= Rs. 27.50
Therefore, saving = (2.50 / 27.50 ×100)%
= 100 / 11%
= 9×1/11%
= 9%.
