Answer 1

Answer:

A greater percentage of blue T-shirts were sold.

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find out the percentage sold, divide the number of shirts sold by the total number of shirts and multiply by 100

so

White t-shirts

total shirts 200

shirts sold 120

$\frac{120}{200}(100)=60\%$

Blue t-shirts

total shirts 300

shirts sold 240

$\frac{240}{300}(100)=80\%$

Compare

$80\% > 60\%$

therefore

A greater percentage of blue T-shirts were sold.
