4.
If 85% of the S type cars produced in each year were sold by the company, how many S type cars remain unsold?
7650
9350
11,850
12,250
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Number of S type cars which remained unsold in 2000 = 15% of 35,000

and number of S type cars which remained unsold in 2001 = 15% of 44,000.

Therefore Total number of S type cars which remained unsold

    = 15% of (35,000 + 44,000)

    = 15% of 79,000

    = 11,850.

Why is not multiplied by 350000 and 440000 respectively in above question?

= 15% (10% of 350k + 10% of 440k).
= 15% (790),
= 11850.
