100% is 1,00,000
1% is 1000
Meat, fish and polutary+ fruits and vegetables+ baked goods+ dairy products+ others=100%
40%+X%+Y%+28%+8%=100%
X+Y=24%
Statement 1: 16000 is the revenue generated from fruits and vegetables.
1% is 1000
16000 is 16%
16% revenue generated from fruits and vegetables last week. (Sufficient)
Statement 2: X=2Y
X+Y=24
3Y=24
Y=8 and X=16%
16% revenue generated from fruits and vegetables.
(Sufficient)

Target question: The sale of fruits and vegetables in Store S last week accounted for what percent of the total sales income for the week?
Statement 1: Last week the total income from the sale of fruits and vegetables in Store S was $16,000.
x represents the PERCENTAGE of revenue from the sale of fruits and vegetables
The graph tells us that the total revenue was $100,000
$16,000/$100,000 = 16/100 = 16%
The answer to the target question is 16% of sales are from fruits and vegetables
Since we can answer the target question with certainty, statement 1 is SUFFICIENT
Statement 2: x = 2y
We know that the SUM of all of the percentages in the graph is 100%
In other words: 40% + 8% + y% + 28% + x% = 100%
Simplify: 76% + y% + x% = 100%
Simplify again: y% + x% = 24%
We're told that x = 2y
Divide both sides by 2 to get: 0.5x = y
Take the equation y% + x% = 24% and replace y with 0.5x to get: 0.5% + x% = 24%
Simplify: 1.5x% = 24%
So x = 24/1.5 = 16
In other words, 16% of sales are from fruits and vegetables
Since we can answer the target question with certainty, statement 2 is SUFFICIENT
Answer: D

Brent
