Final answer:
The question appears to be missing information necessary to determine the percentage of damaged merchandise delivered from the retailer. To calculate percentages, specific data is needed, which is not provided in the question.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks to identify what portion of the total merchandise delivered from the retailer is damaged. Without specific information, it is impossible to determine the exact percentage from the options given (25%, 40%, 50%, 60%). Therefore, the question appears incomplete or lacking necessary details to pinpoint the correct answer.
To answer similar questions, one must typically have data or a description of a scenario where percentages can be calculated. For instance, if we had information stating that out of 100 items delivered, 50 items were damaged, then we could confidently say that 50% of the merchandise was damaged. Similarly, in the context of the examples provided:
- Option a: If 21 out of 100 T-shirts cost more than $19, then 21% of people own at most three T-shirts costing more than $19 each.
- Option b: If there are an equal number of blue and red flowers, then 50% of the flowers are blue, and 50% are red.
- Option e & f: For probability and percentile calculations, specific data points or distributions would be necessary.
