A company bought a total of 60 computers and 20 printers to modernize billing operations. If the price of each computer was three times the price of each printer, what percent of the total cost of the purchase was the total cost of the printers?

• let price of each computer =x
  and price of each printer=y
  total cost=60x+20y
  cost on printers=20y
  given,x=3y
  percentage of total cost on printers={20y/(60x+20y)}*100=20*100/200=10%

• consider each printer cost is 100
  
  then each computer cost is 300
  
  total printer cost = 20 * 100 = 2000
  
  total computer cost = 60 * 300 = 18000.
  
  total expenses = 20,000
  
  what % of printers cost is (2000/20,000)* 100 = 10%..

• let the cost of computers be 3x and printers be x.
  so total cost spent on 60 comp n 20 printer is 60*3x+20*x=200x.
  so the % of cost of printers to the total cost is (20x*100)/200x=10.
  so it is 10%.
