b) 1
c) 2
d) 3

Answer 1

To solve this expression, we need to simplify each part separately and then divide the numerator by the denominator. Hence the correct answer is option C

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this expression, we need to start by simplifying each part of the expression separately.

First, let's simplify the numerator: (9 of 600 - 14 of 650 - 2 of 50).

To find 'of' the value, we multiply the given number with the corresponding percentage.

So, we have: (9 * 600/100 - 14 * 650/100 - 2 * 50/100) = (540 - 910 - 1) = -371.

Now, let's simplify the denominator: (3 + 4 of 250).

We use the same method for finding 'of' the value in the denominator.

So, we have: (3 + 4 * 250/100) = (3 + 10) = 13.

Finally, we divide the numerator (-371) by the denominator (13) to get the result: -371/13 = -28.54 (approximately).

Therefore, the correct answer is c) -28.54 (approximately).
