Show Answer
Correct Answer: 319.(2)
Solution: (2) Total number of bags sold: Stores A and B
$\Rightarrow 2700 \times(14+18) \%$
$=\frac{2700 \times 32}{100}=864$
Stores D and E
$\Rightarrow 2700 \times(26+19) \%$
$=\frac{2700 \times 45}{100}=1215$
Total number of international brand bags sold :
Stores A and B
$\Rightarrow 1200 \times(20+15) \%$
$=1200 \times \frac{35}{100}=420$
Stores D and E
$\Rightarrow 1200 \times(32+9) \%$
$=\frac{1200 \times 41}{100}=492$
Number of domestic bags sold: Stores A and B
$\Rightarrow 864-420=444$
Stores D and E
$\Rightarrow \quad 1215-492=723$
$\therefore$ Required difference
$=723-444=279$
