Store Nokia Cellular Phones Samsung Cellular Phones Total Number of Cellular Phones
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 cellular phones (both Nokia and Samsung) sold by store Q in October
= 11200 × $$\frac{10}{100}$$
= 1120
∵ Number of cellular phones (both Nokia and Samsung) sold by store Q in November
= 1120 × $$\frac{115}{100}$$
= 1288
Number of cellular phones (both Nokia and Samsung) sold by store T in October
= 11200 × $$\frac{20}{100}$$
= 2240
∵ Number of cellular phones (both Nokia and Samsung) sold by store T in November
= 2240 × $$\frac{105}{100}$$
= 2352
∵ Total number of cellular phones (both Nokia and Samsung) sold by Q and T together in November
= 1288 + 2352
= 3640
