Refer to the pie chart carefully and answer the given questions:
Percentage of bags available In different stores in November, 2011
Total number of bags available in all the stores together is 800:
In November,$$ {1 \over {12}} $$of the available bags in store Q remained unsold and $${3 \over {16}}$$ of the available bags in store T remained unsold. How many bags were sold by stores Q and T together in November?
Number of bags available in store Q = $$\frac{24}{100} \times 800 = 192$$
Bags unsold = $$\frac{1}{12} \times 192 = 16$$
=> Bags sold by store Q = $$192 - 16 = 176$$
Number of bags available in store T = $$\frac{12}{100} \times 800 = 96$$
Bags unsold = $$\frac{3}{16} \times 96 = 18$$
=> Bags sold by store T = $$96 - 18 = 78$$
$$\therefore$$ Bags sold by stores Q and T together in November = 176 + 78 = 254
