Answer: Option (Login/Signup)
Show Explanation
Let the total number of shirts be x.
Hence number of non defective shirts = x - 15% of x = 0.85x
Number
of shirts left for export = No of non defective shirts - number of
shirts sold in domestic market
= No of non defective shirts - 20% of No of non defective shirts
= 80% of No of non defective shirts
Hence 8840 = 0.8 * (0.85x) .
Solving for x we get, x = 13000
