Show Answer
Correct Answer: (1)
Solution: (1) Number of sold bags :
Store $Q \Rightarrow \frac{11}{15} \times\left(600 \times \frac{25}{100}\right)$
$=\frac{11}{15} \times 150=110$
Store $S \Rightarrow \frac{7}{12} \times\left(600 \times \frac{14}{100}\right)$
$=\frac{7}{12} \times 84=49$
Required answer
$=110+49=159$
