The answer is D.
Total Cost (X) = p * (100 + t)/100 = (100p + pt)/100
Total Cost (Y) = P * (100 + T)/100 = (100P + PT)/100
From the question, we know that PT > pt. However, we don't know whether P > p. Hence, the information is insufficient.
Total Cost (X) = p * (100 + t)/100 = (100p + pt)/100
Total Cost (Y) = P * (100 + T)/100 = (100P + PT)/100
From the question, we know that PT > pt. However, we don't know whether P > p. Hence, the information is insufficient.
