Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 0.125.

Explanation:

Let the Total number of T-shirts be x  

Number of Blue T-shirts that are blue

                                 = x × 3 ÷ 5 = 3x ÷ 5  

Number of Blue T-shirts marked down

                                  = x × 3÷5 × 5÷8 = 3x÷8  

Number of Blue T-shirts that are marked down and are of medium size

                                = 3x ÷ 8 × 1÷3

                                = x ÷ 8

The answer comes out to be 1÷8.
