3.1 Cricket Bat Sales
Question: A store sold cricket bats in 4 colors (Red, Blue, Green, Yellow). The total sales were 200 bats. Green bats accounted for 30%, and Blue bats were half of Green. How many Yellow bats were sold?
Solution:
Green: (200 \times 0.3 = 60).
Blue: (60 \div 2 = 30).
Remaining (Red + Yellow): (200 - 60 - 30 = 110).
Assuming equal sales of Red and Yellow: (110 \div 2 = 55) each.
Answer: 55
3.2 Agriculture Production
Question: In 2023, a farmer grew wheat, rice, and corn. Rice production was 20% more than wheat, and corn was 15% of the total. If rice production was 480 tons, what was the total production?
Solution:
Let wheat = (W).
Rice = (1.2W = 480) → (W = 400).
Total production (T = W + 1.2W + 0.15T).
(T = 1.35W + 0.15T).
(0.85T = 1.35 \times 400 = 540).
(T = \frac{540}{0.85} \approx 635.29).
Answer: ~635.29 tons
Final Score:
