Taking shops S1, S2 and S5 together, approximately what percentage of all vegetables sold, from these three shops taken together, are tomatoes?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
Tomatoes sold from S1 , S2 and S5 = 1200 + 1000 + 1800 = 4000
Total vegetables sold from S1 , S2 and S5 = 5000 + 6000 + 5600 = 16600
required percentage = \(\frac{4000}{16600}\) × 100
= 24.10%
