Accepted Answer

B. Total kurtis sold by store D $= 12\% 	ext{ of } 84,000 = 10,080$. Total kurtis sold by store B $= 22\% 	ext{ of } 84,000 = 18,480$. Number of linen kurtis sold by store B $= \frac{5}{11} 	imes 18,480 = 8,400$. Percentage more $= \frac{10,080 - 8,400}{8,400} 	imes 100 = \frac{1,680}{8,400} 	imes 100 = 20\%$.

Question 2

Linen $= \frac{4}{7} 	imes 23,520 = 13,440$; Cotton $= 10,080$. Total linen kurtis for D and E $= 6,300 + 13,440 = 19,740$. Average $= 9,870$.
