Question

Amakiri spent N125 for a camera and some film. The camera cost N100 more than the film. What percent of the cost of the two items did Amakiri spend for the camera?

Answer 1

Answer:

81-99

100/125=80

so the answer ranges from 81-99 percent

Answer 2

Answer:

90% is the correct answer.

Given:

Amakiri spent N125 on a camera and some film

The camera cost N100 more than the film

To find:

percent of the cost of the two items did Amakiri spend for the camera.

Solution:

let the cost of the camera be Y and the film be Z.

according to the question.

Y + Z = 125------i

Y = 100 + Z------ ii

substituting equation ii in i,

100 + Z + Z = 125

2Z = 125- 100

2Z = 25

Z= 12.5

Putting in equation ii,

Y = 100 + Z

Y= 100 + 12.5

Y = 112.5

percentage cost of the camera = cost of camera/total cost x 100

= 112.5/125 x 100

= 90 %

Hence, 90% is the correct answer.
