Total laptops sold in three stores are 3000.
The number of HP laptops sold by store X is 40 more than the number of HP laptops sold by store Z.
The average number of HP laptops sold by store X and store Y is 350.
Store X alone sold 300 HP laptops.
Store Y sold a total of 575 laptops.
The ratio of the number of Dell laptops sold by store X and store Z is 2 : 3.
Calculation:
From the above-given data, we can say that HP laptops sold by store X and store Y = (2 × 350) = 700
Store X alone sold 300 HP laptops
So, the number of HP laptops sold by store Y = (700 - 300) = 400
So, the number of Dell laptops sold by store Y = (575 - 400) = 175
Now, according to the question, the number of HP laptops sold by store X is 40 more than the number of HP laptops sold by store Z
So, the number of HP laptops sold by store Z = (300 - 40) = 260
Now, total laptops that are sold = 3000
Remaining Dell laptops sold = {3000 - (300 + 400 + 260 + 175)}
⇒ 1865
According to the question, the ratio of the number of Dell laptops sold by store X and store Z is 2 : 3
So, the number of Dell laptops sold by store X = {1865 × (2/5)}
⇒ 746
Now, the number of Dell laptops sold by store Z = {1865 × (3/5)}
⇒ 1119
We can use a table and put these data.
Name of the brand | X | Y | Z |
Dell | 746 | 175 | 1119 |
HP | 300 | 400 | 260 |
So, the total number of laptops sold by store X = (746 + 300)
⇒ 1046
∴ The total number of laptops sold by store X is 1046.
