At a summer festival, each visitor to a smoothie booth ordered exactly one smoothie, either a small smoothie or a large smoothie. A small smoothie contains 2 servings of fruit, and a large smoothie contains 3 servings of fruit. How many visitors ordered the large smoothie?

(1) A total of 210 servings of fruit were used for the smoothies.
(2) 80 percent of the visitors to the smoothie booth ordered the large smoothie.


Let's consider number of visitors who ordered small and large smoothie be x & y respectively

Total servings = 2x+3y

AD ---> 2x+3y= 210 ...... two variables one equation ----Insufficient

B -----> total visitors= k , x=0.2k, y=0.8k -----------insufficient.

C ------> On combining 0.4k+2.4k= 210 ---> 2.8k=210 -------> k =2100/28 = 21*25/7= 25*3 = 75 ---> y can be calculated---Sufficient C. answer

Small (S) = 2 servings of fruit
Large (L) = 3 servings of fruit
This can be written as 3S = 2L. Let the total number of visitors be V.

1. 210 servings of fruit can make up either 70 large or 105 small smoothies or any combination in between. This does not give the complete answer, hence not sufficient.

2. 80 per cent ordered large smoothy. But this does not give any information on the number of clients or total servings given, hence not sufficient.

Combining both 1 & 2
210 servings were given and of these 80% were large
0.8V x 3 + 0.2V x 2 = 210
2.8V = 210
V = 75
Those who ordered large = 0.8 x 75 = 60

Hence, Both statments together are sufficient. Ans C

There's a system of equations, where S stands for the nmber of Small smoothies sold and L for the large ones:

  • \(s+l=t \) number of visitors, and

  • \(2s+3l=f\) servings of fruit sold.

(1) \(f=210 = 3l+2s\)
Gives a general picture but insufficient.

(2) \(l = 0.8t\), and \(s=0.2t\), but without the total we can't use it. Insufficient.

(1) + (2) Taking the ratio \( s:l=0.2t:0.8t=1:4\), we learn that \(s=l/4\)
Then, \(f=210=3l+2(l/4)\)
From this equation with one variable, we can easily calculate L, the number of people ordering a large smoothie. Sufficient.

Therefore, the answer is C.

Let number of Large smoothies = L
Let number of Small smoothies = S

We need to find out L + S

1) 3L + 2S = 210
Multiple combinations possible.
Insufficient

2) L/(L + S) = 0.8
=> 10L = 8L + 8S
=> 2L = 8S
=> L = 4S
Insufficient

1) and 2) combined

We have
3(4S) + 2S = 210
=> 14S = 210
=> S = 15
=> L = 2 *15 = 60

Sufficient

Option C

answer C

1. 2 servings x (number of small) + 3 serving x (number of large) = 210 Two unknowns 1 equation INSUFFICIENT

2. number of larger = 0.8 ( number of large + small) two unknows 1 equation INSUFFICIENT

combine

Two unknowns and two equations SUFFICIENT

from 2
large = 0.8 large + 0.8 small
small = 0.2 large / 0.8 = 1/4 Large

substitute in 1
2 x 1/4Large + 3 x Large equals 210
1/2 large + 6/2 large equasl 210
7/2 large = 210
large = 210 x 2 / 7 = 60

Given,
Small smoothie (S) = 2x (2 servings of fruit)
Large smoothie (L) = 3x (3 servings of fruit)

Q: # of L ?

St1: 2x+3y = 210
We have no info on the values or ratios of x and y. Insufficient.

St2: L:S = 4:1

L = 4/5 of total smoothie. but, no info of total (t). Insufficient.

Combined, 2*(t/5) + 3(4t/5) = 210

2t/5+12t/5 = 210
14t = 210*5
t = 75

=> L = 4/5 * 75 = 60. Sufficient.

Let L= number of visitors taking large smoothies and S= number of visitors taking small smoothies
Small uses 2 servings and large uses 3

Statement 1 => 2S+3L =210 => Not sufficient
Statement 2 =>L= 0.8(L+S) => Not sufficient

Statement 1 & 2 together => from 2 => S=0.25L
Substitute in 1 => 2(0.25L) +3L = 210 => L=60

We know that,
Each visitor ordered one smoothie
There are 2 types of smoothie
Small = 2 servings of fruit
Large = 3 servings of fruit

Let,
Number of small smoothies = x
Number of large smoothies = y

We need to know how many large smoothies (y) were ordered.
Lets go through each statements 1 by 1,

Statement (1) - A total of 210 servings of fruit were used for the smoothies

This basically equates to -> 2x + 3y = 210 which has multiple possible solutions

Therefore,
Statement(1) alone is insufficient

Statement (2) - 80% of the visitors to the smoothie booth ordered the large smoothie.

Let the total number of visitors = z = x + y
=> y = 0.8 *(x+y)
=> y = 4x

But we cant find the total number of large smoothies that were ordered from this
=> Statement(2) is insufficient

Combining statements(1) and (2),

We know that,
2x + 3y = 210 and y = 4x

Now solving both we get,
x = 15 and y = 60

=> Number of large smoothies that were ordered y = 60

C. Both statements together are sufficient, but neither alone is sufficient

L = number of large smoothies
S = number of small smoothies

(1)
3L + 2S = 210

There are many solutions with integers because for every 2 groups of 3 we can replace them with 3 groups of 2.

Condition insufficient

(2)
L/S = 80/20 = 4
L=4S

Condition insufficient

(1)+(2)
3L + L/2 = 210
6L + L = 420
7L = 420
L=60

Conditions sufficient

Let's transform the data into equations:
Let x be the number of big smoothies sold and y the smalls

I) 210 = 3*x + 2*y ==> NOT SUFFICIENT ( take for example (0,105) or (70,0))
II) y = 1/4 * x ==> NOT SUFFICIENT

I) + II) is instead a linear system 2 eqs and 2 vars, hence SUFFICIENT!

IMO C!

(1)
3*Large + 2*Small = 210

more than one solution:
Large=2 and Small=102
Large=4 and Small=99

Condition (1) is insufficient

(2)
Large:Small = 4:1
Large=4*Small

Condition (2) is insufficient

(1)+(2)
12*Small + 2*Small = 210
Small = 210/14 = 15

Large=4*Small=4*15=60

Condition (1) and (2) are sufficient

The answer is C

Let the number of visitors who ordered large and small smoothies be l and s respectively

We have to find the number of visitors who ordered large smoothies.

Statement A:
2s + 3l = 210
We have two variables and one equation. This is not sufficient

Statement B:
0.8(s+l) = l
this gives 0.8s = 0.2l
4s = l
Still this is not solvable.

Combining
2(l/4) + 3l = 210
3.5l = 210
We get l = 210/3.5 = 60

Hence C is the answer

(1)
2*(small smoothie) + 3*(large smoothie) = 210

Many integer solutions:

(small smoothie)=81 and (large smoothie)=16
(small smoothie)=78 and (large smoothie)=18

Insufficient

(2)
(large smoothie)/(small smoothie) = 80/20 = 4 -> (large smoothie) = 4*(small smoothie)

Insufficient

(1) and (2)
2*(small smoothie) + 3*4*(small smoothie) = 14*(small smoothie) = 210
(small smoothie) = 15

(large smoothie) = 4*(small smoothie) = 60

Sufficient

The correct answer is C

Let total no of smoothies be S, no of small smoothies be S1 & no of large smoothies be S2

1) We have total servings of fruit as 210,
and 2 servings are used for S1 & 3 servings are used for S2

2 S1 + 3 S2 = 210, it wont give a unique and, for S2= 2 , S1 = 102 and similarly for diff values diff ans

2) small smoothies = 0.2S & Large smoothies = 0.8S, not sufficient as dont know S

Combining

2 (0.2S) + 3 (0.8S) = 210
here we can solve for S & can find the no of large smoothies, sufficient

Ans C

Let L = number of large smoothies
and S = number of small smoothies
Total Visitors = L + S

Statement (1): Total 210 servings of fruits were used
Therefore, 3L+2S = 210

One equation and two unknowns. Hence, Statement (1) is not sufficient

Statement (2): 8/10 of the visitors ordered large smoothie
This gives, L = 0.8(L+S)

But we don't know the total number of visitors, so L is not fixed. Hence, Statement (2) is not sufficient

Combine (1) & (2)

From (2): 8/10(S+L) = L
Therefore, L = 4S

Put this value in (1) we get: 3(4S)+2S = 210
So we get a definitive value of S and hence L, so the answer is (C)
