quickly sell some candy

by sanju09 » Thu Apr 16, 2009 3:31 am
A candy wholesaler needs to quickly sell some candy bars that are nearing their expiration date, so he reduced the price of the candy bars. By what percent did he reduce the price of the candy bars?

(1) The price of a candy bar was reduced by 36 cents.

(2) If a candy retailer purchases a case of 144 candy bars from the wholesaler, she will save $51.84 as a result of the price reduction.

Statment I is not sufficient since we do not know the original price of the candy bar

Statement II is same as that of statement I. For 144 candy bars the price is reduced by 51.84$ which is same as price of candy is reduced by 36 cents.

Hence E
