Find the difference between total number of Sneakers shoes sold by shop C and E together and total number of Sports shoes sold by shop C and D together.
Correct Answer :
860
Solution :
The correct answer is 860.
1. Understanding the Given Data from Pie Charts:
From Pie Chart (I), the total number of all shoes (Sports + Sneakers) sold across five shops = 8000.
• Shop A = 20% of 8000
• Shop B = 15% of 8000
• Shop C = 35% of 8000
• Shop D = 12% of 8000
• Shop E = 18% of 8000
From Pie Chart (II), the total number of Sneakers shoes sold across five shops = 4400.
• Shop A = 15% of 4400
• Shop B = 20% of 4400
• Shop C = 40% of 4400
• Shop D = 10% of 4400
• Shop E = 15% of 4400
2. Calculate Sneakers shoes sold by Shop C and Shop E together:
Total percentage of Sneakers sold by C and E = 40% + 15% = 55%
3. Calculate Sports shoes sold by Shop C and Shop D together:
First, find the total number of shoes (Sports + Sneakers) sold by C and D:
Total percentage of shoes sold by C and D = 35% + 12% = 47%
Next, find the total number of Sneakers shoes sold by C and D:
Total percentage of Sneakers sold by C and D = 40% + 10% = 50%
Now, subtract Sneakers from Total Shoes to get Sports shoes sold by C and D together:
4. Find the required difference:
Thus, the required difference is 860.
