Number of Dell laptops sold by store T is what percent more than the number of laptops sold by store P?


A) 30%

B) 45%

C) 40%

D) 42.5%

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Number of Dell laptops sold by store

T = $\frac{21}{100}\times2400$ = 504

Number of laptops sold by store P

= $\frac{15}{100}\times2400$ = 360

Required percentage = $\frac{504-360}{360}\times100$%

= 40%
