Distribution of total no. of Kurtis (cotton and linen) sold by six different stores in 2016, where total kurtis sold are 84,000.

Question : 3 of 100

Marks: +1, -0

Solution:

Concept:

Find total kurtis for store C from pie chart, and linen kurtis for store F using ratio and total from pie chart, then compute ratio.

Explanation:

From the pie chart, store C sold

16\%

of total

84,000

kurtis.

Total sold by store C =

16\%

84,000 = 0.16 \times 84000 = 13,440

Store F sold

28\%

of total, so total sold by store F =

0.28 \times 84000 = 23,520

Ratio of linen to cotton for store F is

7:3

, so linen kurtis =

\frac{7}{7+3} \times 23,520 = \frac{7}{10} \times 23520 = 16,464

Required ratio =

13,440 : 16,464 = \frac{13440}{16464}

Simplify by dividing by

336

13440 \div 336 = 40

16464 \div 336 = 49

So ratio =

40:49

Answer:

40:49
