Let us consider the total number of cakes sold is 100 and out of them 20% are regular cakes
(m = 20%).
Thus, the number of regular cakes sold = 20% of 100 = 20
Revenue generated from sale of regular cakes = $ (1x 20) = $20
Number of premium cakes sold = 100 - 20 = 80
Revenue generated from sale of premium cakes = $ (1.25x 80) = $100
Thus total revenue = $(20+100)= $120
As r% of the total revenue comes from regular cakes, we have:
\(r=\frac{20}{120} *100 =16.6\)%
Now, let us substitute the value of m in the options and check which options give the result
16.6%
A. \(\dfrac{4m}{5-\frac{m}{100}}=\dfrac{4 * 20}{5-\frac{20}{100}}=\dfrac{80}{5-\frac{1}{5}}=\dfrac{400}{24}=16.6\) %
B. \(\dfrac{150m}{250-m}=\dfrac{150 * 20}{250-20}=\dfrac{300}{23} \neq 16.6\) %
C. \(\dfrac{300m}{500-2m}=\dfrac{300 * 20}{500-40}=\dfrac{600}{46} \neq 16.6\) %
D. \(\dfrac{400m}{500-m}=\dfrac{400 * 20}{500-20}=\dfrac{800}{48}= 16.6\) %
E. \(\dfrac{500m}{625-m}=\dfrac{500 * 20}{625-20}=\dfrac{1000}{605} \neq 16.6\) %
F. \(\dfrac{20p}{25-\frac{m}{25}}=\dfrac{20 * 20}{25-\frac{20}{25}}=\dfrac{400}{25-\frac{4}{5}}=\dfrac{2000}{121}\neq 16.6\) %
I hope this helps
