Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Let fabric bags sold by shop A be x. Then, from the conditions, shop B sells 2x paper bags and 2x fabric bags.
So total bags sold by B = 4x, and total bags sold by A is 25% more, i.e. 5x. Hence paper bags sold by A = 4x.
Shop C sells 0.5x paper bags and 0.5x fabric bags.
Total bags = 5x + 4x + x = 10x = 1080, so x = 108.
Paper bags sold by C = 0.5x = 54. Fabric bags sold by A = x = 108.
Percentage more = (108 - 54) / 54 x 100 = 100%.
