Traders Fractions 802F91
1. **Stating the problem:**
We have a market survey with traders selling tomatoes and onions.
- One fourth of traders who sell tomatoes also sell onions.
- Two fifths of all traders sell only tomatoes.
- Eleven twentieths of all traders sell onions.
We need to find:
- The fraction of traders that sell tomatoes.
- The fraction of traders who sell only one commodity.
2. **Define variables:**
Let $T$ be the fraction of traders who sell tomatoes.
Let $O$ be the fraction of traders who sell onions.
Let $B$ be the fraction who sell both tomatoes and onions.
Let $T_{only}$ be the fraction who sell only tomatoes.
Let $O_{only}$ be the fraction who sell only onions.
3. **Translate given information into equations:**
- One fourth of traders who sell tomatoes sell onions: $$B = \frac{1}{4}T$$
- Two fifths sell only tomatoes: $$T_{only} = \frac{2}{5}$$
- Eleven twentieths sell onions: $$O = \frac{11}{20}$$
4. **Express $T$ and $O$ in terms of only and both:**
$$T = T_{only} + B$$
$$O = O_{only} + B$$
5. **Use given values:**
$$T = \frac{2}{5} + B$$
$$O = O_{only} + B = \frac{11}{20}$$
6. **Substitute $B = \frac{1}{4}T$ into $T$ equation:**
$$T = \frac{2}{5} + \frac{1}{4}T$$
7. **Solve for $T$:**
$$T - \frac{1}{4}T = \frac{2}{5}$$
$$\frac{3}{4}T = \frac{2}{5}$$
$$T = \frac{2}{5} \times \frac{4}{3} = \frac{8}{15}$$
8. **Find $B$ using $B = \frac{1}{4}T$:**
$$B = \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{8}{15} = \frac{2}{15}$$
9. **Find $O_{only}$ using $O = O_{only} + B$:**
$$O_{only} = O - B = \frac{11}{20} - \frac{2}{15} = \frac{33}{60} - \frac{8}{60} = \frac{25}{60} = \frac{5}{12}$$
10. **Find fraction of traders who sell only one commodity:**
$$T_{only} + O_{only} = \frac{2}{5} + \frac{5}{12} = \frac{24}{60} + \frac{25}{60} = \frac{49}{60}$$
**Final answers:**
- Fraction of traders that sell tomatoes: $$\boxed{\frac{8}{15}}$$
- Fraction of traders who sell only one commodity: $$\boxed{\frac{49}{60}}$$
