Question:

Find the value of $\frac{14\%\, of\, 14+ 28\%\, of\, 28 + 92\%\, of\, 96 -15\%\, of\, 85}{85.37}$

Options:

2.5

1

3

5

Correct Answer:

1

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → 1

$\frac{14\%\, of\, 14+ 28\%\, of\, 28 + 92\%\, of\, 96 -15\%\, of\, 85}{85.37}$

converting % sign into 100 and taking to denominator

⇒ Denominator, D = 85.37×100 = 8537

⇒ Numerator, N = 14×14 + 28×28 + 92×96 - 15×85

                           = 14[14+2×28]+92(100-4)-15(100-15)

                           = 980+9200-368-1500+225 = 8537

Thus, Answer N/D = 1
