9% of 845

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 10% of 720.

12% of 625 = 12100×625{12 \over 100} \times 625

⇒ 124×25{12 \over 4} \times 25

⇒ 3 × 25 = 75

15% of 555 = 15100×555{15 \over 100} \times 555

⇒ 34×111{3 \over 4} \times 111 = 83.25

10% of 720 = 10100×720{10 \over 100} \times 720

⇒ 110×720{1 \over 10} \times 720 = 72

9% of 845 = 9100×845{9 \over 100} \times 845

⇒ 920×169{9 \over 20} \times 169 = 76.05

Hence the least among the given is 10% of 720.
