40% of the memberships sold by Gym A were gold memberships.

Answer 1

Answer:

a) If both gyms sold 80 total memberships, Gym A sold 12 more gold membership.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question: 40% of the memberships sold by Gym A were gold memberships. 25% of the memberships sold by Gym B were gold memberships.  

Which statement must be true?

a) If both gyms sold 80 total memberships, Gym A sold 12 more gold membership.

b) If both gyms sold the same number of memberships, Gym A sold 15 more gold membership.

c) Gym A sold more gold membership than Gym A did.

d) If Gym B sold 50 membership, 25 would be gold memberships.

Given: Gym A have sold 40% gold membership of total membership.

Gym B have sold 25% gold membership of total membership.

Lets take option A first to find if it is true statement.

As per option A, There are total number of membership is 80.

∵ Gym A has sold 40% gold membership.

∴ Gym A gold membership= $40\% \times 80$

⇒ Gym A gold membership= $\frac{40}{100} \times 80= 32 member.$

∴ Gym A gold membership= 32.

Now, Gym B

∵ Gym B has sold 25% gold membership.

∴ Gym B gold membership= $25\% \times 80$

⇒ Gym B gold membership= $\frac{25}{100} \times 80=20 member.$

∴ Gym B gold membership= 20.

Next finding difference gold membership for Gym A and Gym B

$32-20= 12 \ membership$

Hence, we can say option A is correct as Gym A have sold 12 more gold membership, if total number of membership sold by both Gym is 80.
