    Question

    Sam started with 275 chocolates, and Jim had 35

    chocolates more than Sam. Each consumed a portion of their chocolates—Sam ate 20% of his, and Jim ate 30% of his. After indulging, how many more or fewer chocolates does Sam have compared to Jim?
    A 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 12 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Original number of chocolates with Jim = 275 + 35 = 310 Number of chocolates left with Sam = 275 - 275 X 0.2 = 220 Number of chocolates left with Jim = 310 X 0.7 = 217 So, required difference = 220 - 217 = 3 Hence, option a.
