An agent wants to sell x% of a list of 10,000 apartments in a residential area. After market price decreases, the agent must reduce this selection by (x − 8)%. In terms of x, how many apartments will he be able to sell? Select the correct option
A) x*x – 8x	B) (x)(108 – x)	C) (100)(108 – x)	D) (100)(92 – x)	E) (x-8)/100
Based on the answer choices and the question, this question begs the use of x=8 as a sample number.   Initial = 8%*10000 = 800   Reduction = 8-8=

0%, so no math required here to calculate the reduction; just make sure that you can calculate 800 in your answer.   A. x*x – 8x= 0; No   B. (x)(108 – x) = 800; Winner!   C. (100)(108 – x) &gt; 800; No   D. (100)(92 – x) &gt; 800; No   E. (x-8)/100 = 0; No   (x)(108 – x)
<result>B</result>
