How much percent more is spent on Hockey than that on Golf?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Let the total spendings on sports be Rs. x. Then,
| Amount spent on Golf = Rs. |  |
36 | x x |  |
= Rs. | x | . |
| 360 | 10 |
| Amount spent on Hockey = Rs | |
63 | x x | |
= Rs. | 7x | . |
| 360 | 40 |
| Difference = Rs. | |
7x | - | x | |
= Rs | 3x | . |
| 40 | 10 | 40 |
 Required percentage = Rs. |

3x/40 | |
x 100 |  |
% = 75%. |

SIMPLE SOLUTION
(HOCKEY-GOLF)/HOCKEY x 100= req %
(63-36)/36 x 100=75%
(HOCKEY-GOLF)/HOCKEY x 100= req %
(63-36)/36 x 100=75%

(HOCKEY - GOLF/ GOLF)*100
(63-36/36)*100 = (27/36)*100 = 75%
(63-36/36)*100 = (27/36)*100 = 75%

Shouldn't this be divided only by x rather than x/10.

1/10 = 100.
1 = 100/1/10.
3x/40 = 100/1/10*3x/40.
= 75.
1 = 100/1/10.
3x/40 = 100/1/10*3x/40.
= 75.

First hockey - golf.
63 - 36 = 27.
So, then divide it by 27/36 * 100 = 75.
63 - 36 = 27.
So, then divide it by 27/36 * 100 = 75.
