Question

A shop sold white, pink and red T-shirts. 24% of the T-shirts were white. There were 198 more pink than white T-shirts. The remaining 114 T-shirts were red. How many pink T-shirts were there

Answer 1

No. of pink T-shirts was 342

How to solve it?

Given: 24% of the T-shirts were white

Let, total number of T-shirts be x

According to question,

Total no. of white T-shirts = $\frac{24x}{100}$

Total No. of pink T-shirt =  $\frac{24x}{100}$ + 198

Total No. of red T-shirts = 114

According to the question:

$\frac{24x}{100} + \frac{24x}{100}$+ 198 + 114 = x

312 = x - $\frac{48x}{100}$

312 = $\frac{52x}{100}$

x =$\frac{312*100}{52}$

x = 600

so No. of pink T-shirts :

$=\frac{24*600}{100}$+198

= 144 + 198

= 342

Hence total No. of pink T-shirts was 342.
