Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
- Number of cotton shirts sold by store A
$ =\frac{5}{12}of(16 $ % $ of84000) $
$ =\frac{5}{12}\times \frac{16}{100}\times 84000=5600 $
Total number of cotton shirts sold by store A
$ =\frac{6}{11}of(22 $ % $ of84000) $
$ =\frac{6}{11}\times \frac{22}{100}\times 84000=10080 $
Total number of cotton shirts sold by stores A and B
$ =5600+10080=15680 $
Total number of shirts sold by store E
$ =28 $ % $ of84000=23520 $
$ \therefore $ Required percentage $ =\frac{15680}{23520}\times 100=66\frac{2}{3} $ %
