Question

What is the approximate percent more spent on Baseball than that on Boxing?

• A. $100\%$
• B. $130\%$
• C. $160\%$
• D. $171\%$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $171\%$

Time spent on Baseball $=$ $\frac{19}{360}\times x=\frac{19x}{360}$
Time spent on Boxing $=$ $\frac{7}{360}\times x=\frac{7x}{360}$
Difference $=$ $\frac{19x}{360}-\frac{7x}{360}=\frac{x}{30}$
Therefore, Required percentage $=$ $\frac{x÷30}{7x÷360}\times 100\%$ $=171\%$
