A typist uses a paper 30 cm × 15 cm. He leaves a margin of 2.5 cm at the top and the bottom and 1.25 cm on either side. What percentage of paper area is approximately available for typing?
A.65%
B.70%
C.80%
D.60%
FeedbackTotal area = (30 × 15) cm2 = 450 cm2 Area used = [(30 - 1.25 × 2) × (15 - 2.5 × 2)] =(27.5 × 10) cm2 = 275 cm2 Percentage of area used = [(275/450) × 100]% = 61.1% ~ 60% (approx..)
