Bill has 75 cents in his pocket. He walks up to a food stand and asks how much for a hot dog. The vendor just raised the price of his hot dogs by 10% but believes Bill is down on his luck and so he sells the hot dog to Bill for 75 cents which is exactly 75% of his new price for hot dogs.

A) 8.5%
B) 17.5%
C) 12.5%
D) 14.5%
