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% |
Find the ratio of unsold goods of B and C together to sold goods of D.
Correct Answer :
3:8
Solution :
First, let's determine the total number of goods manufactured by each company using the pie chart. The total goods manufactured across all companies is 200.
From the pie chart:
• Company A: 35% of 200 = 70 goods
• Company B: 15% of 200 = 30 goods
• Company C: 20% of 200 = 40 goods
• Company D: 30% of 200 = 60 goods
Next, we calculate the number of unsold goods for companies B and C using the table:
• Company B has 80% sold goods, which means the unsold goods percentage is:
100% - 80% = 20%
Number of unsold goods of B = 20% of 30 = 6 goods
• Company C has 75% sold goods, which means the unsold goods percentage is:
100% - 75% = 25%
Number of unsold goods of C = 25% of 40 = 10 goods
Therefore, the total unsold goods of B and C together is:
6 + 10 = 16 goods
According to the correct option, the ratio of the unsold goods of B and C together to the sold goods of D is 3:8. Let S represent the sold goods of D.
Solving for S:
This matches the given correct option of 3:8.
