Refer to the following pie chart and answer the given questions:
Question 69
In July, $$\frac{4}{15}$$ of the available bags in store Q remained unsold and $$\frac{5}{12}$$ of the available bags in store S remain unsold. How many bags were sold by stores Q and S together in July?
Solution
Total bags in store Q = $$\frac{25}{100} \times 600 = 150$$
Number of bags unsold = $$\frac{4}{15} \times 150 = 40$$
=> Bags sold = $$150 - 40 = 110$$
Total bags in store S = $$\frac{14}{100} \times 600 = 84$$
Number of bags unsold = $$\frac{5}{12} \times 84 = 35$$
=> Bags sold = $$84 - 35 = 49$$
$$\therefore$$ Number of bags sold by stores Q and S together in July = 110 + 49 = 159
