An agency wants to buy furnitures of x% of a list of 10,000 furnitures in a catalogue. After a market price increase, the agency must reduce this selection by (x − 2)%. In terms of x, how many furnitures will the agency be able to buy?
Choose the correct option
A) x*x – 2x B) (x)(102 – x) C) (100)(102 – x) D) (100)(98 – x) E) (x-2)/100
Based on the answer choices and the question, this question begs the use of x=2 as a sample number.   Initial = 2%*10000 = 200   Reduction = 2-2=

0%, so no math required here to calculate the reduction; just make sure that you can calculate 200 in your answer.   A. x*x – 2x= 0; No   B. (x)(102 – x) = 200; Winner!   C. (100)(102 – x) &gt; 200; No   D. (100)(98 – x) &gt; 200; No   E. (x-2)/100 = 0; No   (x)(102 – x)
<result>B</result>
