A company purchased 60 computers and 20 printers to modernize its billing operations. The price of each computer is three times the price of each printer. What percentage of the total purchase cost is attributed to the printers?

Question

Accepted Answer

Let the price of each printer be ₹x. Then, the price of each computer is ₹3x.

1. Calculate the total cost of printers:  
   - Total cost of printers = $$ 20 	imes x = 20x $$.

2. Calculate the total cost of computers:  
   - Total cost of computers = $$ 60 	imes 3x = 180x $$.

3. Calculate the total purchase cost:  
   - Total purchase cost = $$ 20x + 180x = 200x $$.

4. Determine the percentage of the total cost attributed to printers:  
   - Percentage = $$ \frac{	ext{Cost of printers}}{	ext{Total purchase cost}} 	imes 100 $$.  
   - Substituting values:  
     $$
     	ext{Percentage} = \frac{20x}{200x} 	imes 100 = 10\%.
     $$

Thus, **10%** of the total purchase cost is attributed to the printers.
