Directions: Study the table below carefully and answer the given question.

The table displays the total number of laptops sold by five different stores (P, Q, R, S, and T), which sell two brands of laptops (Dell and HP), along with the ratio of Dell laptops sold to HP laptops sold by each store.

Stores	Total number of Laptops (Dell and HP)	Ratio of Dell Laptops : HP Laptops
P	400	$2:3$
Q	550	$6:5$
R	700	$3:4$
S	600	$8:7$
T	250	$11:14$

The number of Dell laptops sold by store T is what percentage of the number of HP laptops sold by store R?

The correct answer is 27.5%.

Step 1: Find the number of Dell laptops sold by store T.

From the given table, for store T:

Total number of laptops (Dell + HP) = 250

Ratio of Dell laptops : HP laptops = 11 : 14

Total sum of ratio terms = 11 + 14 = 25

Value of 1 ratio part = $\frac{250}{25}=10$

Number of Dell laptops sold by store T = $11\times 10=110$

Step 2: Find the number of HP laptops sold by store R.

From the given table, for store R:

Total number of laptops (Dell + HP) = 700

Ratio of Dell laptops : HP laptops = 3 : 4

Total sum of ratio terms = 3 + 4 = 7

Value of 1 ratio part = $\frac{700}{7}=100$

Number of HP laptops sold by store R = $4\times 100=400$

Step 3: Calculate the required percentage.

The percentage of Dell laptops sold by store T relative to HP laptops sold by store R is calculated as follows:

$\text{Required Percentage}=\left(\frac{\text{Dell laptops sold by store T}}{\text{HP laptops sold by store R}}\right)\times 100$

$\text{Required Percentage}=\left(\frac{110}{400}\right)\times 100$

$\text{Required Percentage}=\frac{110}{4}=27.5\%$

Thus, the number of Dell laptops sold by store T is 27.5% of the number of HP laptops sold by store R.
