Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
A shop contained some refrigerators and televisions. The total number is 800, and 45% of them were refrigerators. If 60% of refrigerators were sold and 65% of televisions were sold last week. How many fewer refrigerators were sold than televisions?
Solution:
The number of refrigerators = 45% of 800 = 0.45 * 800 = 360 refrigerators.
The number of televisions = 800 - 360 = 440 televisions.
number of refrigerators sold = 60% of 360 = 0.6 * 360 = 216 refrigerators
number of televisions sold = 65% of 440 = 0.65 * 440 = 286 televisions
The number of fewer refrigerators that were sold than televisions = 286 - 216 = 70
