Question

In a recent board meeting, the executives of Company X decided that 10% of their operating budget should go to advertising, 50% to operating expenses, 25% to salaries, and the rest to developing new products. What fraction of the budget will be used for developing new products?

F. 5/100
G. 3/20
H. 4/10
J. 1/7

Answer 1

The fraction is what is left from 100% when the other allocations are subtracted.

100% - 10% - 50% - 25% = 15%

... = 15/100 = 3/20

The appropriate choice is ...

... G. 3/20
