• D. 50

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

40

Answer 2

Let the price of the fridge be $F$. Then the price of the TV is $1.5F$.
The total cost of the TV and fridge is:
$F + 1.5F = 2.5F$
The percentage of the total cost that is the price of the fridge is:
$\frac{F}{2.5F} \times 100\% = \frac{1}{2.5} \times 100\% = 40\%$
Thus, the price of the fridge is 40% of the total cost of the TV and fridge.
