Answer:The amount of paint that was sold altogether is 173.36 litres
Step-by-step explanation:
The total amount of paint that the paint shop stocks is 1800 litres.
24% of the paint is white. It means that the amount of white paint would be
24/100 × 1800 = 0.24 × 1800 = 432 litres.
The amount of the remaining paint other than white would be
1800 - 432 = 1368 litres
The shops sells 18% of the white paint. This means that the amount of white paint sold by the shop will be
18/100 × 432 = 0.18 × 432 = 77.6 litres.
The shops sells 7% of the rest of the paint.
This means that the amount of the rest paint sold by the shop will be
7/100 × 1368 = 0.07 × 1368 = 95.76 litres.
The amount of paint that was sold altogether would be
77.6 + 95.76 = 173.36 litres
