Answer:

Option (c).

Explanation:

It is given that, I paid twice as much by not waiting for a sale and not ordering online.

Let the cost of items ordering online be x.

So, now i am paying twice of x = 2x

Now, we have find 2x is what percent of x.


Percent =(2x)/(x)* 100=200\%

It means, I paid 200% of what I could have online and on sale.

Therefore, the correct option is (c).
