Total items B sold by the store on Monday and Friday together are what percent less than the total items C sold by the store on Wednesday and Thursday together?

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. Calculate total items B sold on Monday and Friday:
   - Monday: $ \frac{240}{48} \times 32 = 5 \times 32 = 160 $
   - Friday: $ \frac{340}{68} \times 22 = 5 \times 22 = 110 $
   - Total items B = $160 + 110 = 270$

2. Calculate total items C sold on Wednesday and Thursday:
   - Wednesday: $ \frac{420}{35} \times 20 = 12 \times 20 = 240 $
   - Thursday: $ \frac{360}{24} \times 20 = 15 \times 20 = 300 $
   - Total items C = $240 + 300 = 540$

3. Find the percentage by which items B sold are less than items C sold:
   $$
   \frac{540 - 270}{540} \times 100 = \frac{270}{540} \times 100 = 50\% 
   $$

**Answer:** 50\%
