Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
To find the number of salesmen who sold more than 600 shoes, we calculate the total sales for each salesman across all seven days.
Salesman A: 90 + 80 + 56 + 96 + 40 + 40 + 48 = 450
Salesman B: 184 + 180 + 24 + 54 + 32 + 52 + 196 = 722
Salesman C: 72 + 160 + 26 + 60 + 76 + 94 + 124 = 612
Salesman D: 92 + 120 + 128 + 24 + 104 + 152 + 68 = 688
Salesman E: 36 + 96 + 138 + 116 + 160 + 30 + 20 = 596
Comparing the totals to 600: Salesmen B (722), C (612), and D (688) sold more than 600 shoes. Salesmen A (450) and E (596) did not.
Thus, exactly 3 salesmen sold more than 600 shoes.
