Question

A clothing supplier stores 800 coats in a warehouse, of which 15 percent are full-length coats. If 500 of the shorter length coats are removed from the warehouse, what percent of the remaining coats is full-length?

• A. 35\(\%\)
• B. 9.37\(\%\)
• C. 5.62\(\%\)
• D. 40\(\%\)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

15\(\%\) are full length coats = 0.15 \(\times\) 800 = 120
Short length coats removed = 500
Remaining coats = 300
\(\%\) of long length coats = \(\frac{120\times100}{300}=40\)
The correct option is (D): 40\(\%\)
