Question

A store offered a buy one get one free sale for a popular shirt. The manager noticed that 35% of consumers bought a red shirt, 25% a blue, and 40% a green. Assume all consumers bought either two shirts or none at all, but no consumer buys two shirts of the same color. How many consumers did not buy any of these shirts

Answer 1

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = Green and red

     Y = Red and blue

     Z = Green and blue

( Buy green or red or blue )

⇒ (x + y) + (y + z) + (z + y)  = 25 + 40 + 25

⇒ 2( x + y + z) = 100

∴ x + y + z = 50

Buy at least one shirt = 50%

So, did not buy any shirt = 100 - 50

                                        = 50%
