Question

1) 1/9 of the shirts sold at peter’s shop are striped. 5/8 of the remainder are printed. The rest of the shirts are plain coloured shirts. If peter’s shop has 81 plain coloured shirts, how many more printed shirts than plain coloured shirts does the shop have?

Answer 1

Answer:

54

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total number of shirt = 1

Stripped Shirt = 1/9

Remaining Shirt = 8/9

Printed Shirt = 8/9*5/8 = 5/9

Remaining Shirt or plain coloured shirt =

8/9-5/9= 3/9= 1/3

Plain coloured shirt = 81

1/3--------81

1 ----------81*3= 243

Printed Shirt = 5/9*243=5*27= 135

No of more shirts = 135-81= 54
