1/2 - 50%
1/3 - 33.33%
1/10 - 10%
So in total, 93.33% is spent. The remaining 6.67% amounts to $6 So 100% would equate to ?
Using the above we don't "exactly" land up with $90.
Hence, it's best to solve this question in fractions (rather than converting everything into percentage).

A better understanding would be to:
Let the total spend in supermarket be x.
so, total spend in supermarket =x/2+x/3+x/10
LCM of 2,3,10=30, on solving
15x+10x+3x/30= 28x/30
means remaining: x-28x/30= 2x/30 spend on candy
2x/30=6
x=90 Ans. Hence C is the answer.

I like doing this question type by converting to decimals.
50% on fruits and vegetables.
33.33% on meat.
10% on bakery.
That's 93.33%.
$6 is 6.67%.
Answer choice C
If you aren't comfortable with the mental math that $6 is 6.67% of $90, you can see that we need an answer choice that's less than $100. So D and E are out. 6 is 10% of $60, not 6.67%, so A is out. 60 is 75% of 80, so 6 is 7.5% of 80, which means B is out. We only have C. 6 is 66.67% of 9, so 6 is 6.67% or 90.
