Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

630

Solution :

The correct answer is 630.


Based on the provided pie charts:

Pie Chart (I) - Total number of shoes (Sports + Sneakers) = 8000

Distribution for Shops A and B:

• Shop A = 20% of 8000

• Shop B = 15% of 8000


Pie Chart (II) - Total number of Sneakers shoes = 4400

Distribution for Shops A and B:

• Shop A = 15% of 4400

• Shop B = 20% of 4400


Step 1: Calculate the total number of shoes sold by shop A and shop B.

Total shoes sold by shop A:

Shop A (Total) = 20 %  of  8000 = 20 100 × 8000 = 1600

Total shoes sold by shop B:

Shop B (Total) = 15 %  of  8000 = 15 100 × 8000 = 1200


Step 2: Calculate the number of sneakers shoes sold by shop A and shop B.

Sneakers sold by shop A:

Shop A (Sneakers) = 15 %  of  4400 = 15 100 × 4400 = 660

Sneakers sold by shop B:

Shop B (Sneakers) = 20 %  of  4400 = 20 100 × 4400 = 880


Step 3: Calculate the number of sports shoes sold by shop A and shop B.

Since Total Shoes = Sports Shoes + Sneakers Shoes:

Sports Shoes = Total Shoes - Sneakers Shoes

Sports shoes sold by shop A:

Shop A (Sports) = 1600 - 660 = 940

Sports shoes sold by shop B:

Shop B (Sports) = 1200 - 880 = 320


Step 4: Find the average number of sports shoes sold by shop A and B together.

Total sports shoes sold by shop A and B together:

Total Sports Shoes (A + B) = 940 + 320 = 1260

Average number of sports shoes sold by shop A and B together:

Average = 1260 2 = 630
