• A. $51\frac{1}{3}\%$
• B. $55\frac{2}{3}\%$
• C. $47\frac{1}{3}\%$
• D. $53\frac{1}{3}\%$
• E. $57\frac{1}{3}\%$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $53\frac{1}{3}\%$

Number of hats sold by store M during January = 640, Number of hats sold by store N during March and April together = 480 + 720 = 1200
$\therefore$ Required average
$=\frac{640}{1200}\times 100$
$=53\frac{1}{3}\%$
