Answer Key & Solution Approach

Step 0 — Decode the table (recover the real figures)

Recover the real figures: Coffees = (⅕ column) × 5, Teas = (half column) × 2, and Smoothies from the Coffees : Smoothies ratio.

  • K: Coffees = 150×5 = 750; ratio 5:4 → Smoothies = 750×4/5 = 600; total 1650 → Teas = 1650−750−600 = 300.
  • L: Coffees = 120×5 = 600; Teas = 175×2 = 350; ratio 3:2 → Smoothies = 600×2/3 = 400.
  • M: Teas = 280×2 = 560; Coffees = 4 × Smoothies (Note 3) — pinned in Q3.
  • N: Coffees = 180×5 = 900; Teas = 250×2 = 500; ratio 9:5 → Smoothies = 900×5/9 = 500.
Q1
Correct Answer: A) 25

Café L: Teas + Smoothies = 350 + 400 = 750; Coffees = 600. Percentage more = (750 − 600) ÷ 600 × 100 = 25%.

Q2
Correct Answer: B) 6 : 5

Smoothies: K = 600, N = 500. Ratio = 600 : 500 = 6 : 5.

Q3
Correct Answer: D) 760

Average of Teas & Smoothies for M = 400 → their sum = 800 → Smoothies = 800 − 560 = 240. By Note 3, Coffees = 4×240 = 960. Required average of Coffees & Teas = (960 + 560) ÷ 2 = 760.

Q4
Correct Answer: B) 510

Café K: average of Smoothies & Coffees = (600 + 750) ÷ 2 = 675. Iced Drinks = 120% × 675 = 810. Difference from Teas (300) = 810 − 300 = 510.

Q5
Correct Answer: C) 550

Café K: Coffees + Teas = 750 + 300 = 1050. Teas of N = 500. Difference = 1050 − 500 = 550.
