Correct Answer: (5)
Solution: (5) Cotton shirts sold by sotres $A$ and $B$
$=84000 \times \frac{16}{100} \times \frac{5}{12}+84000$
$\times \frac{22}{100} \times \frac{6}{11}$ $=5600+10080=15680$
Shirts sold by store $E$
$=\frac{84000 \times 28}{100}=23520$
$\therefore$ Required percent
$=\frac{15680}{23520} \times 100$
$=\frac{200}{3}=66 \frac{2}{3} \%$
