Fill in the blanks to answer the question. Solve to find the percentage of each color of t-shirts sold, then fill in the blanks.

Answer 1

A greater percentage of blue T-shirts were sold.

see the explanation

Explanation:

we know that

To find out the percentage sold, divide the number of shirts sold by the total number of shirts and multiply by 100

so

White t-shirts

total shirts 200

shirts sold 120

`(120)/(200)(100)=60\%`

Blue t-shirts

total shirts 300

shirts sold 240

`(240)/(300)(100)=80\%`

Compare

`80\% > 60\%`

therefore

A greater percentage of blue T-shirts were sold.
