Question

Alia went to a grocery store to buy 25 items out of which she uses 15 of them for preparing an Italian dish. Then of items bought were left unused.

• A. 30 %
• B. 40 %
• C. 50 %
• D. 60 %

Answer 1

The correct option is D 60 %

The number of items bought = 25.
The number of items used = 15.
Hence, the number of items unused = 25 - 15 = 10.
Hence, the percentage of items unused
= $\frac{10}{25}$$\times$ 100 % = 40 %.
