1 answers
On Tuesday,
⇒ No. of Hindi newspapers sold = 120
⇒ No. of English newspapers sold = 75
⇒ Required % = {(120 - 75)/75} × 100 = (45/75) × 100 = 60%
On Friday,
⇒ No. of Hindi newspapers sold = 125
⇒ No. of English newspapers sold = 80
⇒ Required % = {(125 - 80)/80} × 100 = (45/80) × 100 = 56.25%
On Saturday,
No. of Hindi newspapers sold = 180
No. of English newspapers sold = 120
⇒ Required % = {(180 - 120)/120} × 100 = (60/120) × 100 = 50%
On Sunday,
No. of Hindi newspapers sold = 195
No. of English newspapers sold = 100
⇒ Required % = {(195 - 100)/100} × 100 = (95/100) × 100 = 95%
∴ The sale of Hindi newspapers is 56.25% more than the sale of English newspapers on Friday
