Answer 1

Common Calculation

For shop A,

Number of copper items sold in shop A is 24.

Number of bronze items sold in shop A is 16.

So, total number of copper and bronze items sold in shop A is 24 + 16 = 40.

So, Ratio between total number of [ copper + bronze] items sold to number silver items sold.

So, Number of silver items sold in shop A is 40 × 4 /5 = 32

Similarly, we can calculate others values also, which is given in the table.

Calculation

In Shop B:

Copper = 30 × 750 = 22,500

Bronze = 28 × 550 = 15,400

Silver = 24 × 1050 = 25,200

Total value = 22,500 + 15,400 + 25,200 = 63,100

Total items = 30 + 28 + 24 = 82

Average selling price = 63100 ÷ 82 = Rs. 769.51 (approx)

Answer: Rs. 770
