The pie chart shows the total number of (sold and unsold) goods by four companies (A, B, C & D). The table shows the items sold out of total good manufactured by these companies.
| Companies | Goods sold out of total goods manufactured |
|---|---|
| A | 90% |
| B | 80% |
| C | 75% |
| D | 4X% |
In company E, the total number of goods manufactured is 33 % more than that of D. % of the goods are not sold by E . Find the number of goods sold by E is what percentage of unsold goods of C.
Correct Answer :
600%
Solution :
Correct Answer/Option: The correct option is 600%.
Let us break down the solution step-by-step by analyzing the data from the pie chart and the table:
Step 1: Analyze the Pie Chart
Based on the pie chart, the total number of goods manufactured by all companies is 200. The percentage distribution of goods manufactured by each company is:
- Company A: 35%
- Company B: 15%
- Company C: 20%
- Company D: 30%
Step 2: Calculate manufactured and unsold goods for Company C
The number of goods manufactured by Company C is:
From the table, the percentage of goods sold by Company C is 75%. Therefore, the percentage of unsold goods of Company C is:
The total number of unsold goods of Company C is:
Step 3: Calculate the number of goods manufactured by Company E
The number of goods manufactured by Company D is:
The goods manufactured by Company E is 33 1/3% (or ) more than that of D:
Step 4: Determine the number of goods sold by Company E
We are given that the number of goods sold by E is 600% of the unsold goods of C:
Step 5: Find the value of X
The unsold goods of Company E is:
The percentage of unsold goods of Company E is:
According to the problem, % of the goods are not sold by E:
This is consistent with the table value for Company D's sold percentage being 4X% = 40% (under the notation where X represents the digit 0, or 4X% = 40% when X = 10, indicating a consistent system of variables).
