Correct Answer: (3)

Solution: (3)

Number of international brands sold in 2011 :

Store $B \Rightarrow 1200 \times \frac{15}{100} \times \frac{120}{100}=216$

Store $E \Rightarrow 1200 \times \frac{9}{100} \times \frac{125}{100}=135$

Total bags sold $=216+135=351$

$\therefore \quad$ Number of domestic brand bags sold $=\frac{21}{13} \times 351=567$
