Correct Answer :

Option B

280

Solution :

The correct answer is 280.

Step 1: Calculate the total number of Dell and HP laptops sold by Store Q.
From the given table, for Store Q:
Total number of laptops sold (Dell and HP) = 550
Ratio of Dell laptops to HP laptops = 6 : 5

Total ratio parts =

6 + 5 = 11

Number of Dell laptops sold by Store Q:

Dell laptops = 6 11 × 550 = 300

Number of HP laptops sold by Store Q:

HP laptops = 5 11 × 550 = 250

Step 2: Calculate the number of non-defective laptops for Store Q.
Percentage of defective Dell laptops = 40%
Percentage of non-defective Dell laptops = 100% - 40% = 60%

Number of non-defective Dell laptops:

60 % of 300 = 60 100 × 300 = 180

Percentage of defective HP laptops = 60%
Percentage of non-defective HP laptops = 100% - 60% = 40%

Number of non-defective HP laptops:

40 % of 250 = 40 100 × 250 = 100

Step 3: Find the total number of non-defective laptops (both Dell and HP) sold by Store Q.

Total non-defective laptops = 180 + 100 = 280

Thus, the total number of non-defective laptops sold by Store Q is 280.
