Show Answer

Correct Answer: (2)

Solution: (2)

Total number of bags sold:

Stores A and B

$\Rightarrow 2700 \times(14+18) \%$ $=\frac{2700 \times 32}{100}=864$

Stores D and E

$\Rightarrow 2700 \times(26+19) \%$ $=\frac{2700 \times 45}{100}=1215$

Total number of international brand bags sold :

Stores A and B

$\Rightarrow 1200 \times(20+15) \%$ $=1200 \times \frac{35}{100}=420$

Stores D and E

$\Rightarrow 1200 \times(32+9) \%$ $=\frac{1200 \times 41}{100}=492$

Number of domestic bags sold: Stores A and B

$\Rightarrow 864-420=444$

Stores D and E

$\Rightarrow \quad 1215-492=723$

$\therefore$ Required difference $=723-444=279$
