• A. 20
• B. 40
• C. 30
• D. 25

Answer 1

The correct option is D 25

Total earning of Ramiya=Rs.8000
Amount spent on shopping=Rs.2000
Therefore,percent of his earnings spend on shopping=$\frac{2000}{8000}\times 100$
=$\frac{2}{8}\times 100$
=$\frac{200}{8}$
=25%

Or, In fraction, $\frac{25}{100}=\frac{1}{4}$
