    Question

    Neha goes to a toy store with some money. She can buy 60

    dolls or 20 robots with the money with her. However, instead of spending the entire amount, she saves 5% of the amount for candies and buys 8 robots and some dolls. Find the percentage of number of dolls she can purchase now out of the initial number of dolls she could have purchased.
    A 55% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 50% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 67% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 32% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ Let the amount of money with Neha be Rs. '180c' So, the price of 1 doll = (180/60) = Rs. '3c' Also, the price of 1 robot = (180/20) = Rs. '9c' ATQ; Amount retained for candies = 0.05 X 180c = Rs. '9c' Price of 8 robots = 8 X 9c = Rs. '72c' Remaining amount = 180c - 9c - 72c = Rs. '99c' So, number of dolls she can purchase now = (99c/3c) = 33 Therefore, required percent = (33/60) X 100 = 55%
