If the monthly incomes of A and D are Rs.80000 and Rs.72000 respectively, then the amount spent by A on rent is ______ % more than the amount spent by D on clothes.
A32.62
B38.89 ✓ Correct
C36.54
D34.24
Correct answer: (B) 38.89
Explanation
It is about 38.89 percent more, so that is the answer.
A spends 15 percent of 80000 on rent, which is 12000.
D spends 12 percent of 72000 on clothes, which is 8640.
The excess is 12000 minus 8640, which is 3360.
3360 over 8640 is about 0.3889.
That is 38.89 percent.
