so in here we see that X has 90 cans .
y has 60 cans.
we know that 75 cans were sold.
as 90+60=150 and
150/2=75.
now if Y sold 2/3 of the cans
then 2/3(60)= 40 cans
In comparison X sold about
75-40=35 cans.
the number 40 is higher and hence Y sold higher cans
y has 60 cans.
we know that 75 cans were sold.
as 90+60=150 and
150/2=75.
now if Y sold 2/3 of the cans
then 2/3(60)= 40 cans
In comparison X sold about
75-40=35 cans.
the number 40 is higher and hence Y sold higher cans
