Question

A total of 600 advertisements were sold for a certain magazine. If 30 percent of the first 200 sold were in color, 20 percent of the next 300 sold were in color, and 90 percent of the last 100 sold were in color, what percent of the 600 advertisements were in color?

Answer 1

Answer:

%35 of them were in color

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 30 percent of the first 200 sold were in color, 200x30/100 = 60 of them were in color.

Since 20 percent of the next 300 sold were in color, 300x20/100 = 60 of them were in color.

Since 90 percent of the last 100 sold were in color, 100x90/100 = 90 of them were in color.

In total, 60 + 60 + 90 = 210 out of 600 were in color.

The percentage is:  $\frac{600}{100}$ = $\frac{210}{x}$ → x = $\frac{21000}{600}$ = 35
