Question

    A manufacturer produced a total of 24000 items where 40% of

    the items were electronic gadgets and the remaining items were household appliances. If 70% of the gadgets produced and 50% of the appliances produced were sold, then find the total number of items sold.
    A 13920 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 13625 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 10435 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 11875 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Number of electronic gadgets produced = 24000 X 0.40 = 9600

    Number of electronic gadgets sold = 9600 X 0.70 = 6720

    Number of household appliances produced = 24000 - 9600 = 14400

    Number of household appliances sold = 14400 X 0.50 = 7200

    So, total number of items sold = 6720 + 7200 = 13920
