The given pie chart shows the percentage distribution of the number of buckets sold by a grocery store on different days of a week. And, the number of red buckets sold by the same grocery store on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday is 225, 150, 175, 75 and 50 respectively. Total buckets sold (in a day) = Red buckets + Green buckets Total buckets sold by a grocery store in the given days = 1250 What is the ratio between the total number of red buckets sold on Wednesday and Thursday together to the total number of green buckets sold on Thursday and Friday together?

Total buckets sold (in a day) = Red buckets + Green buckets Total buckets sold by a grocery store in the given days = 1250 What is the ratio between the total number of red buckets sold on Wednesday and Thursday together to the total number of green buckets sold on Thursday and Friday together? Correct Answer 5 ∶ 4
Given:
The total number of red buckets sold on Wednesday = 175
The total number of buckets sold on Thursday = (16/100) × 1250 = 200
The total number of buckets sold on Friday = (10/100) × 1250 = 125
The total number of red buckets sold on Thursday = 75
The total number of red buckets sold on Friday = 50
Calculation:
⇒ The total number of red buckets sold on Wednesday and Thursday together = 175 + 75 = 250
⇒ The total number of green buckets sold on Thursdays = 200 - 75 = 125
⇒ The total number of green buckets sold on Friday = 125 - 50 = 75
⇒ The total number of green buckets sold on Thursday and Friday together = 125 + 75 = 200
⇒ The required ratio = 250 : 200 = 5 : 4
∴ The required result will be 5 : 4.
