Directions (67-69):The radar graph given below shows the number of buckets (plastic + wooden) sold by five different shops (P , Q, R, S and T) in two different months (May and June). Read the data carefully and answer the questions.
40% of total buckets sold by P in June are plastic buckets and th of total plastic buckets sold by P are defective. If 25% of total wooden buckets sold by P in June are also defective and total wooden buckets sold by Q in June are 50% more than the difference between total plastic and wooden buckets sold by P in June which are not defective, then find total plastic buckets sold by Q in June are what percent of total buckets sold by Q in May.
Correct Answer :
60%
Solution :
From the radar graph, we can extract the following values for the number of buckets sold by different shops:
- Total buckets sold by Shop P in June (orange line) = 160
- Total buckets sold by Shop Q in May (blue line) = 120
- Total buckets sold by Shop Q in June (orange line) = 96
Step 1: Calculate the plastic and wooden buckets sold by Shop P in June
For Shop P in June, the total number of buckets is 160.
Plastic buckets = 40% of 160
Wooden buckets = Total - Plastic buckets
Step 2: Calculate the non-defective buckets sold by Shop P in June
Defective plastic buckets are 1/8 of the total plastic buckets:
Non-defective plastic buckets = 64 - 8 = 56.
Defective wooden buckets are 25% of the total wooden buckets:
Non-defective wooden buckets = 96 - 24 = 72.
Step 3: Calculate the wooden buckets sold by Shop Q in June
The difference between non-defective wooden and plastic buckets sold by Shop P in June is:
The total wooden buckets sold by Shop Q in June is 50% more than this difference:
Step 4: Calculate the plastic buckets sold by Shop Q in June
Total buckets sold by Shop Q in June = 96.
Plastic buckets sold by Q in June = Total buckets - Wooden buckets
Step 5: Calculate the required percentage
We need to find the percentage of plastic buckets sold by Shop Q in June compared to the total buckets sold by Shop Q in May (120):
