Calculations:

Selling price of P = 190% of 450 = 1.9 × 450 = 855

Selling price of Q = 200% of 250 = 500

Selling price of R = 160% of 600 = 960

Selling price of S = 170% of 730 = 1241

Selling price of T = 180% of 400 = 720

total Selling price of P and Q = 855 + 500 = 1355

Total Selling price of R, S and T= 960 + 1241 + 720 = 2921

Percentage required

= (1355) × 100/2921

= 1355 × 100/2921

= 46.38%

Hence, The Required value is 46.38%.
