WAEC 2024

If the quantity demanded of rice de- creased from 150 bags to 100 bags, the percentage change in quantity demanded is

  1. A30.0 %
  2. B33.3 %
  3. C50.0%
  4. D66.7%

Explanation

Percentage change in quantity demanded is calculated as [(Change in Quantity) / (Original Quantity)] × 100. Here, Change = 150 - 100 = 50. Therefore, (50 / 150) × 100 = 33.3%.
