P	896	672	1568
Q	840	280	1120
R	1120	896	2016
S	1568	1344	2912
T	448	1792	2240
U	704	640	1344

Number of Nokia phones sold by store R = 1120
Number of Samsung phones sold by store P and Q together
= 672 + 280
= 952
$$\eqalign{ & \therefore \text{Required percentage} \cr & = \frac{1120-952}{952}\times100 \cr & = \frac{16800}{952}\% \cr & = \frac{300}{17}\% \cr & = 17\frac{11}{17}\% \text{ more} \cr} $$
