Question

If all the children increase the pocket money demanded by them for the tasks, then what will be the least amount for doing the task, keeping in mind that children 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 each increased the amount for the task by 50%?

• A. $\$225$
• B. $\$220.5$
• C. $\$214.5$
• D. $Cannotbedetermined$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\$214.5$

The answer can be obtained directly by increasing the answer to question 1 by 50%, as all the children increase the cost by 50% and hence the total cost will increase by 50% only.
