Show Answer

Correct Answer: (1)

Solution: (1)

Number of sold bags :

Store $Q \Rightarrow \frac{11}{15} \times\left(600 \times \frac{25}{100}\right)$ $=\frac{11}{15} \times 150=110$

Store $S \Rightarrow \frac{7}{12} \times\left(600 \times \frac{14}{100}\right)$ $=\frac{7}{12} \times 84=49$

Required answer $=110+49=159$
