price of a calculator is 150.
price of a radio is 75.
price of a printer is 16% less than the price of a radio.
the price of the printer is 75 minus .16 * 75 = .84 * 75 = 63.
the price of the calculator minus the price of the printer is 150 minus 63 = 87.
87 / 150 = .58 = 58%.
the price of the printer is 58% less than the price of the calculator.
the price of the printer is 150 minus .58 * 150 = 63.
this confirms the solution is correct.
the solution is 58% which is selection b.
let me know if you have any questions.
