In a certain department store, which has four sizes of a
specific shirt, there are 1/3 as many small shirts as medium
shirts, and 1/2 as many large shirts as small shirts. If
there are as many x-large shirts as large shirts, what
percent of the shirts in the store are medium?

Answer Posted / sunil jha

S=M/3
L= S/2 = (M/3)*1/2= M/6
XL= L = M/6

S+M+L+XL=100

M/3 + M + M/6 + M/6 = 100

10M/6=100
M=60
