The price of each computer was three times the price of each printer: the price of a computer = 3 and the price of a printer = 1.
Thus, the cost of one computer and one printer = 4 and the total cost = 60*3 + 20*1 = 200.
% = 4/200*100 = 2%.

A. 2 %
B. 7272 %
C. 4 %
D. 2323%
E. 12 %
Total printers bought = 20
Let price of printer = $1
Total cost of printer = 1 x 20 = $20
Total computers bought = 60
Price of computer = three times the price of printer = 3 x 1 = $3
Total cost of computer = 3 x 60 = $180
Total cost of computers and printers = 180 + 20 = $200
Cost of 1 computer and 1 printer = 1+ 3 = $4
Percent of 1 computer and 1 printer to the total cost of computers and printers = (Cost of 1 computer and 1 printer / Total cost of computers and printers ) x 100
Required amount = \(\frac{4}{200}\) x 100 = 2%
Answer A...
