To calculate the time savings, we need to find the difference in time taken on the first day and second day, and then express it as a percentage of the initial time. 
The difference in time taken = 8 minutes – 2 minutes = 6 minutes 
The initial time = 8 minutes 
The percentage time savings = (6/8) x 100% = 75%. 
So, the correct answer is B) 75%.
