The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
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.
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.
