Is it better ?
Let assume A is 100
=> B = 50, C = 150
The ratio will be
A : B : C = 100 : 50 : 150 = 2 : 1 : 3
Or C equal to 3 / (2 + 1 + 3) = 1/2 total
=> C get 1/2 money = 1/2 800 = 400

Quite a tricky question. This question should be listed in sentence correctionBUT when it says 75% compalined of fatigue it does not necessarily mean the rest 25 % did not complain of fatigue. They might have had 'no comments'

Why it's 14, not 34 ?
If it's 14, then the question should bewhat percent of interns do not complain for the feelings of fatigue during the shifts?
what percent of interns who receive more than 6 hours to sleep do not complain for the feelings of fatigue during the shifts?

Let pick number for this question
100 present for the original price, so 60 must be the current price, and 25% of 60 = 15 ( you can use 1/4 if you remember )
Then total discount is 15 + 40 = 55 or 55% of the original price
Then B

Sorry for late replying. OA is B. This was my mistake when I post the question.
What I want to ask in this question is that whether there is a way to finish the question easier ? Like plugging the number back to the question ? Will it be faster ?
