Show Answer

Correct Answer: (5)

Solution: (5)

Cotton shirts sold by sotres $A$ and $B$ $=84000 \times \frac{16}{100} \times \frac{5}{12}+84000\times \frac{22}{100} \times \frac{6}{11}$ $=5600+10080=15680$

Shirts sold by store $E$ $=\frac{84000 \times 28}{100}=23520$

$\therefore$ Required percent $=\frac{15680}{23520} \times 100$ $=\frac{200}{3}=66 \frac{2}{3} \%$
