Number of shoes sold by salesman A and D together on Thursday is _____ % more than the number of shoes sold by salesman E on Saturday.
A400
B300 ✓ Correct
C200
D100
Correct answer: (B) 300
Explanation
First add Thursday's figures: A sold 96 and D sold 24, which makes 120. On Saturday E sold only 30. To see how much more, compare the difference with E's number. The difference is 90, and 90 is exactly three times 30, so it is 300 percent more. That is why the answer is 300.
