Correct Ans: E
Lemon flavour in 80 pounds = 80*(20%) = 16...(i)
Lemon flavour in 20 pounds = 20*(60%) = 12...(ii)
Adding i & ii
Lemon flavour in 80 pounds + 20 pounds = 16+12
Lemon flavour in 100 pounds = 28
Therefore, total stock of tea that is lemon flavored = 28 / 100
= 28%
= E
Lemon flavour in 80 pounds = 80*(20%) = 16...(i)
Lemon flavour in 20 pounds = 20*(60%) = 12...(ii)
Adding i & ii
Lemon flavour in 80 pounds + 20 pounds = 16+12
Lemon flavour in 100 pounds = 28
Therefore, total stock of tea that is lemon flavored = 28 / 100
= 28%
= E

20% of 80 pounds is lemon: 16 pounds
20 pounds, 60% is lemon: 12 pounds
Total lemon-flavored tea = 28 pounds
Total tea = 100 pounds
% = (28/100)x100 = 28%
20 pounds, 60% is lemon: 12 pounds
Total lemon-flavored tea = 28 pounds
Total tea = 100 pounds
% = (28/100)x100 = 28%
