Last week Vartan spent 15 percent of his wages on recreation. This week, his wages are 10 percent less than last weekʼs wages and he spent 30 percent of his wages on recreation. The amount he spends on recreation this week is what percent of the amount he spent on recreation last week?
A. 100%
B. 160%
C. 180%
D. 200%
E. 220%
