Explanation / Answer

Correct option is D. Maria can only save some percentage which is numerically less than 100. Hence, 126% is not possible, because bill cannot be nagative.

Effectively, if Maria saves P% on her bill then her next bill value shall be (100 – P)%. Hence, for P = 126, we obtain – 26%, viz. not possible
