Answer 2

Answer:

sharpners = 20%

   erasers=30%

   pencils=50%

Step-by-step explanation:

let the total no. of items in the pencil box be x

∴sharpners: 2x

  erasers:3x

  pencils: 5x

∴ 2x+3x+5x=540

=> 10x=540

=>x=54

∴ no. of sharpners:2*54=108

   no. of erasers:3*54=162

   no.of pencils: 5*54=270

   Percentage:

   sharpners: (108/540)*100= 20%(ans)

   erasers:(162/540)*100=30%(ans)

   pencils:(270/540)*100=50%(ans)
