10% of garments produced in a mill are found detective and 20% of the remaining are sold in the mills factory outlet. if the remaining 5040 garments are shipped to other retail stores then the garments that were defective was?
Answers
AnswEr :
Let the Total Garments produced be n.
- Faulty = 10%
- Perfect = (100 – 10)% = 90%
- 20% of Remaining are Shipped.
- Remains of Remaining Garments = (100 – 20)% = 80% = 5040

Answer: 700
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total number of garments produced be 'x'.
Since it is given that 10% of the garments were found as defective.
Therefore
Defective garment = 10% of x
= (10/100) × x
= x/10.
Remaining garments = x - x/10
= (10x - x)/10
= 9x/10
Now, as per given that 20% of remaining garments are sold in the mills factory.
Garments sold in mill factory = 20% of (9x/10)
= 20/100 × (9x/10)
= 9x/50.
Remaining garments are being sold in mills factory is 5040.
Thus we have,
9x/10 - 9x/50 = 5040
(45x - 9x)/50 = 5040
36x/50 = 5040
36x/5 = 5040
36x = 5040 × 50
36x = 252000
x = 252000/36
x = 7000
Thus,
Defective garments = x/10
= 7000/10
= 700
