SOLUTION

A bakery opened yesterday with its daily supply of 40 dozen rolls. Half of the rolls were sold by noon, and 80 percent of the remaining rolls were sold between noon and closing time. How many dozen rolls had not been sold when the bakery closed yesterday?

(A) 1
(B) 2
(C) 3
(D) 4
(E) 5

20 rolls were sold sold by noon and 80% of the remaining 20 rolls were sold between noon and closing time, thus only 20% of these remaining 20 rolls had not been sold when the bakery closed. Hence 0.2*20=4 rolls had not been sold when the bakery closed.

Answer: D.

answer is D ...4 dozens ....

half sold by noon --> 20 dozens (20 *12 =240)
remaining --> 20 dozens i.e 240 eggs...
80% sold --> 80*240/100 =192 eggs
remaining 20 % --> 48 eggs (4 dozens ) --> answer

SOLUTION

A bakery opened yesterday with its daily supply of 40 dozen rolls. Half of the rolls were sold by noon, and 80 percent of the remaining rolls were sold between noon and closing time. How many dozen rolls had not been sold when the bakery closed yesterday?

(A) 1
(B) 2
(C) 3
(D) 4
(E) 5

20 rolls were sold sold by noon and 80% of the remaining 20 rolls were sold between noon and closing time, thus only 20% of these remaining 20 rolls had not been sold when the bakery closed. Hence 0.2*20=4 rolls had not been sold when the bakery closed.

Answer: D.
