If the total number of pages printed by all the given printers together on Wednesday was 15% more than the total number of pages printed by all the given printers together on Saturday, what was the total number of pages printed by all the given printers together on Wednesday?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 39,376.

Total pages printed by all printers on Saturday = 8540 + 11230 + 6580 + 7890 = 34240

Now,

The total number of pages printed by all the given printers together on Wednesday was 15% more than the total number of pages printed by all the given printers together on Saturday

Pages printed on Wednesday = 34240 × (100 + 15)/100

⇒ 34240 × 115/100 = 39376

Hence, the total number of pages printed on Wednesday is 39376
