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 ?

8
9
10
11

Correct Answer: 9

Explanation:

Actual price = Rs. (25 + 2.50) = Rs. 27.50.

Saving = 2.50

Percentage Saving = [(2.50/27.50)*100]

= 2500/275

= $9 \frac{1}{11}$ %

$\approx 9$ %
